We are thinking of returning to London from Sweden and are looking at private day schools in or around the Hampstead area. I am not worried (yet ;) ) about my dd as she will be little when we return and there seems to many nice day schools and secondary schools for girls. My ds will be starting at 11 (though there is a strong chance we move in the next couple of years). He is 6 now and goes to a sweet Montessori school. He is bright, sensitive and imaginative but I have no idea how academic he will be (Swedish schools are very soft for the first few years) I want a good school where he is stretched and there is discipline but my main desire is a school that is warm and nurturing. I went to co-ed schools but there seems to be mainly single sex schools in London. What are your views on single sex for boys, particularly one who has lots of good girl friends and is not your full on boy-boy, iyswim!
One school I'm looking at is UCS. When I mention the school to local people there's often a pause and then they say something positive but rather vague. People also talk about a particular 'type' of boy who goes there but no one says what that type is!
As I said I want a good education for my son but most of all I want him to feel happy and confident and to make lovely friends.
Sorry for the rambling post and thank you in advance.
