hi guys, I'm trying to choose between a sweet little 1 form entry school which is a bit ramshackle and looks like it could do with a big injection of cash to update facilities etc and a big gleaming 3 form entry school which is ship-shape and bristol fashion.
My 5 year old son is currently at reception at the big school and we are thinking of moving him to the 1 form in spetmeber when he goes into year one. so there's that. i think he will be ok, he is quite outgoing. Also at the big school he is at he often says no-one will play with him and he doesn't seem to have made many friends.. he is a good kid so i think his teachers don't pay him too much attention because he is doing 'well.'
The 1 form has a very warm and lovely ethos about the whole child, does forest school, mindfulness mediation etc etc and everyone knows everyone and its got a great friendly atmosphere.
The 3 form is this turbo charged place, friendly but big, big on homework and tests and is a bit more anonymous.
basically I'm totally leaning towards the 1 form, it fits with our values more but then the big gleaming 3 form obviously has more provisions and is more diverse etc etc...
Any thoughts would be good
