DS wants to return to the UK to board for sixth form. We are currently living and working in a developing world country and he will do iGCSEs in 2017.
I think he has a good temperament /maturity for boarding, and in fact, he suggested it. His interests are arts, music and outdoorsy (D of E) stuff.
Academically he's solid-good, I guess he'll get A/ A's and B's next year, but not a long string of A's.
One school which looks interesting is Sidcot - we were really impressed with another Quaker school we looked at several years ago in Yorkshire, and our family are in Wales/West Country, so that would be a good fit, with us the other side of the world!
The Christian/Quaker ethos is fine by us, but I'd be interested to know how that plays out in school life.
I'd be very interested in anyone's experience of joining to school to board at 16+, the proportion of pupils who board for sixth form,and also your opinions generally, thanks!
