I only have until this friday to make a decision on a secondary school!
I am stuck on deciding between George Abbot or St Peters in Guildford. My child is under achieving. I have been advised to go with George abbot as it has a good reputation for catering for this but...not garanteed a place in the special needs class as there are only 11 spaces and 300 intake a year. Also I have read the school has linked up with Kings college (which does not have such a good reputation) and the Head has taken on the role of executive Headteacher for both schools last May! Does anyone know what future plans this means for the George Abbot?
As for St Peters I know its a good school as my eldest went there a year ago, but their under achievers class (speedway) is for one year only (George abbot is for all the years and the child gets filtered into their peers classes when the school feel they are able to join them) although the senco at St Peters has said to me that a child may have a teachers assistent to help them for maths/english lessons (depending on the childs disability)
Now wondering if I should make a quick appointment to go and see the senco at Howard of Effingham? I know it's difficult to get in there but come top of priority...long story.
Sorry if I sound all mumbled jumbled and for spelling mistakes etc...not had a good nights sleep in a while :(
