We are non-catholics but our ds has been given a place in a local catholic school which has a wonderful reputation, we visited the school this week and we couldnt fault it. DS is currently at a private nursery and has social problems and poor motor skills and is generally "behind average" whatever that is, it may be because of a hearing problem he had when he was younger, but we will never know I guess. He is due to see a specialist soon to assess whats going on. Anyway we feel private school is not the best thing for him now, but have missed the boat on admisssions for Jan 2005 in reception so are extremely lucky to have been offered a place in such a good school....a pupil is moving abroad so it was just timing really. The two schools closest to me are really poor and I have never heard anything good about them so feel that he really does need a school that can support any needs he may have as he grows up. This schools offers all that but Im just worried about the religious side as we are not religious and he might find it confusing to be praying every morning. I think we will have to go with it as we dont really have any other choice. The private school he is at only takes boys until the are 7 so Im really worried that if he stays there when he gets to 7 we wouldnt get him into a good school/wherever he went he couldnt make friends. Advice please.
