Does anyone have any experience of their child attending a school where they are very much in a racial/social minority? If so, how did it work out?
Apologies if this reads bluntly- don't want to go round the houses, but don't want to offend anyone either. My son will be going to a primary school in September, where he will very much be in the minority, and I would hate to see him struggle and feel unable to fit in. The majority (75-80%) of pupils are Muslim, whereas we aren't, and have a shared language which they use at home, which we do not. But does that matter?Have been in a few times, and the pupils are perfectly friendly, school has good Ofsted etc. So maybe I am worrying about nothing???
Any experience much appreciated
