not sure what to do for ds next year. He is a a lovely pre-prep feeder for the selective school and most of his friends will be going there. He was a bit of a late developer but the teachers now think he would have no problem getting in. The thing is we really liked the feel of a musical prep school when we saw round it and I find the selective school a bit intimidating. The school he is at now are a bit dismissive of the prep school implying that it won't stretch him enough but as far as i can tell they do quite well with getting scholarships and things at 13. The facilities are probably better at the selective school but there is more of a rich culture and tradition at the prep school.
Any opinions?
