We are moving to Kingswood from Wimbledon and have decided to send our kids to a private school, mainly because my oldest struggles - more than the average 7 year old boy - with his attention span and may benefit from a more focused nurturing environment.
We are torn between Aberdour and Hawthorns and would love to hear any inside thoughts/views from parents who are familiar with either.
Hawthorns is a stunning school with amazing facilities and a warm friendly environment. We were totally sold having seen several schools. But I visited Aberdour today and the head has such a wonderful energy and such fantastic-sounding schemes in place to individually cater for each child and I must admit, against all expectations, I am wondering whether it would be the better choice. Aberdour does not have the wow factor of Hawthorns in its buildings and class rooms and indoor sports areas (appearance wise Hawthorns is in an entirely different league) and you can hear the A217 in many outside parts of Aberdour. But how important are those things for the children? I’m confused. Any help appreciated!
