Hi. I have two boys one year apart ( R and Y1) - one is very focused and the other struggles with his attention, always taking an easy route and pretending to be a clown. The first of got an offer from Stephen Perse in Cambridge and the other did not pass their test. The school offers us to bring him in again for a second assessment. I was working with my less academically gifted son for a several months now doing math and reading and perhaps he can past a test (not 100% thought). Here is my dilemma - on one hand I can have both brothers in one school who can support each other in a new environment and will foster further their close relationship. It will also make my life much easier with all the school runs, teachers meetings, other parents, parties etc. On the other hand one will fit well in academically competitive school while the other most likely will be at the bottom of the class. This can shatter his confidence but may be they will put him above what he will be achieving in a regular school.Any thoughts? Similar stories to share of a differently gifted siblings?
