We live in cardiff. Thinking of moving DD into a private school year 4.
Cant decide between the two following options
School A - 3 miles from home
easy to travel not much traffic
very academic
Estyn report not as good as A
Parents (have DS studying) happy
CO-ed so there is not much choice
for boys in the area
Music oriented ( DD is musical)
No big lawns, sports faciclities
not good
school fees more than school B
School uniform inexpensive
School B - 7 miles , heavy trafiic need to
30minutes early
good local rep
most of our friends children go
B
good all round care,facilities
Less expensive than A,
but uniform etc., expensive
academically not selective
do scholarships from year 11
we would like to go for it at 11
Ttotaly confused. Parents who send their children to school A have sons so not much option there.Part of me tells that school A is convenient and will use the time commute etc., to actually concentrate on her to do the exams at 11 but again part of me thinks why everyone who has a girl has opted for school B.Anyway DD does piano and cello privately and not planning to change her wonderful music teachers.What would othe MNers do?
