DS is in local state primary, top of his class, did some tutoring; didn't get into either of selective independents he sat for. Not thrilled with options open to us: non-selective secondary with few facilities. Is it a good idea to put him in one of the preps for Year 7 and 8, and retake 13+ CE? Prep I'm thinking of is very academic, will motivate him and is prepared to help him catch up in Latin, French and the things he never did in primary. Plus one has the support and input of the Prep Head. Good or bad bad bad idea?
