I am considering two prep schools for ds.
One is all boys and goes to age 13. I love the school but it is a good 20 to 30 mins drive away. Good facilities, stacks of extra-curricular activities etc.
The other is mixed to age 7 and then girls only after that so he'd have to move to another school (possibly the all boys one above or one of several others which might be a little far to go at age 4 but ok by age 7 iyswim).
However it is only 5 mins drive or a walk away, and smaller and more homely than the other school. It's a bit too girl-oriented in some ways but it would only be for two years and ds isn't a particularly boisterous boy anyway. There are only 6 boys in each class but that seems enough given there are two classes and they change them round after reception and year one.
Both seem to have lovely teachers, children leave to go to good schools at the end of their stay etc. so nothing between them there.
Any thoughts on whether it would be very disruptive to move at 7/ better to go to the other school from the start etc?
