My ds is currently at a boarding prep in the U.K. . We had hoped to apply to apply for Winchester College for senior school. The headmaster of our prep school is now advising us against this as he feels it is too academic for our son. He has suggested Sherbourne or Radley as better options. These schools do not seem to be in the same league as Winchester College we feel disappointed by this.
Our son is not overly happy at his current school .He feels that more attention is given to boys who live locally. He is correct in his observation and this is upsetting. We would therefore be happy to move to a full boarding prep where perhaps all boys would receive equal attention. We were led to believe that the vast majority of boys stayed over the weekend but found this was not the case.
Can any mums offer any advise?
