My DS goes to Park hill infants , croydon at the moment. We r looking for a move into the independent sector in Y3 (2013-14). Depending on location Elmhurst n Royal Russell r the nearest for me. I have seen both the schools n got a good feel about Royal Russell. I am yet to see Cumnor house. But from what I understand both schools work on different principles- one a more relaxed environment n the other more geared to the entrances at Y 5 or 6. Son is doing well academically at the moment n is due to sit the KS1Level 3 in May. But he is a little worrier about not being able to do better n also gets (?upset/ ?? jealous/ ?competitive) when others at school do better at something than him. As a child I was in a gifted programme n know how stressful it was. Though I have done academically well in life n have a good career there r things I could learn from my DH who went to a school with more sport facilities n less of pushing u to succeed academically. I want my son to do well academically at the same time have a more rounded personality. Just want to know ifany parents on here have their children at any of these three schools n could advice me of the best option. I liked the RR look . Pls if any mums have children at RR pls share their experiences here so I can take a balanced decision. I am ok with co ed as it is more like the real world! But as DS is my first pls share ur experiences on so single sex vs coed.
