Ds is in year 6. He is a bright boy, not exceptional, avg cat score 124. He is sporty and will maybe look at getting a sports scholarship. He's not musical although pays the guitar. He is dyslexic. Can cope, middle sets, gets extra time etc and a reader in exams. Ed psych report showed he is actually brighter that we had realised, his dyslexia makes him look average when he is in their words, verbally gifted and top 2%.
Anyhow our head says he would do fine in any environment, Co Ed or boys only as he's very sociable and emotionally intelligent. I have a preference for Co ed as I feel it's a more natural environment and I think he'd have more fun! I want him to get good grades but not at the expense of everything else. I want a rounded education.
Any thoughts on the above schools? Dh went to Radley and loved it. We have family at marlborough and they love it. Malvern a thought as we were impressed with the registrar we meet and it's fairly close.
