Hi, nc as this could be outing. We are quite limited with primary schools in our area with only one in our catchment. There is a new school being built on the same site as the local “Outstanding” high school by the academy trust that runs it. DC is due to start school next Sept and that is when this school opens. They will only be taking children for reception, 2 classes of 60. Then the year after they will let in another 60 and so on. So DC’s class will always be the oldest in the school.
I just wonder if you would all feel comfortable with that, your child always being the oldest with no older children to look up to. They mentioned at open days I’ve been to at another primary of the same academy trust that they plan to involve the year 7s from the high school on a buddy scheme so they help them out. But it isn’t the same to me and I wonder if DC would miss out. I’d welcome any thoughts you have on this. The academy trust’s schools are all very well regarded and over subscribed, which is a good sign I suppose.
