Hi
How possible is to move from an outstanding comprehensive to a top selective private secondary for A levels ?
We would like to send our DD to a local selective private secondary school but I am concerned about the social aspect of not having local friends; she goes to an outstanding state primary; we are in the catchment of a good state comprehensive secondary where the majority of her friends will go, so we are thinking of sending her there and move in 16 plus or 13 plus. Not sure how realistic this is.
When I was growing up I used to play with my neighbours; we all attended different schools but we lived close to each other so this didn't matter; it is different in a big city like London where everything has to be planned in advance; I can't imagine what it would be like having friends spread all around SE ,SW and Central London.
On the other hand we like what the private secondary offers; specially the artistic aspect and extra curricular activities; it is also local and the facilities are great.
Any advice regarding whether could she moved later on? And disadvantages or advantages ?
Thank you
