Hi All. I couldn't find a recent thread on this topic so thought I'd start a new one.
My DCs are due to start at Taverham Hall next September. The ethos and values of the Head seem to be spot on right for us. The green space they have is amazing.
It's a long way off yet, but I'm wondering about our Senior School choices.
I don't like the idea of Gresham's as I don't want DCs to have to do the long hours and Saturday school.
The city schools, Norwich High and Norwich School would be options. Also Langley for the sake of a 'country' option.
I've heard some very rude local gossip about Langley being for the "rich but thick". I don't believe this could possibly be true - could it? Either way, we're after a school our children will enjoy spending time at, not the school promising to get the best 'results' out of them.
I've also heard gossip about Norwich High only interested in girls fitting a certain mould, willing to tow the line. But also of bitchiness and bullying not dealt with appropriately.
Norwich School looks very good. But I'm concerned the physical openness of the school gives way to the children getting away with all sorts in private. Is this completely unfounded?
Does anyone have any true stories, good or bad about any of these schools?
Thanks!
