I saw an advert at my son's (now in Y2) school for scholarships at a local private school, very posh it is too! to start in Y3 by the way.
I have looked at their website - and they say offers are made subject to academic level being at Y3 or above - and interview.
I am vaguely considering the merits of applying. They have great sports facilities, small classes and so on. But whilst my son is very bright, very communicative and engaging - he's pretty average in terms of the 3Rs.
Is it a waste of my time applying therefore? I don't want to do coaching etc, not my style. He might benefit from alot of things at this school - but would it be too pushy academically for him (I struggle as it is with an hour's homework a week!), assuming he even got in.
Any thoughts?
