Well my DD is nearly completing her year 7. She is at a very small school with a high percentage of day pupils and weekly boarders. So leaving only a few full boarders at weekend.
So I asked her do you want to move to a school with more full boarders. The reply was No thanks. I like it here because my friends are here and being within a select few full boarders you get to know the older girls and they become in effect your big sister.
So now she has her own peer group in her year a mix of day girls/ weekly boarders and her best friends that are full boarders. She also has a lot of older girls that help her when she is down in the dumps over something silly. I think the best description is an extended family.
So would a big school 100 % full boarding provide this?
Im just curious
