Ok I'm choosing between 2 schools for DS for next September, please help me decide!
School A - middle class catchment area, religious (we are not), above average results but not as good as school B. Very convenient location (250m away), great breakfast club provision, lovely grounds, but feels a bit too serious, headteacher didn't talk much about the kids, not much diversity, only 1 TA per class, sometimes none. Really patronising handout given at the end.
School b - more disadvantaged area, more diversity, really friendly teachers, really friendly approachable head, relaxed teaching style (years R, 1 and 2 dont sit at desks in the traditional style), better results than school A, 2 TAs per class BUT less convenient (short drive or long walk), not great breakfast and after school provision, not great grounds (no proper school field) although they do still go to green areas and have access to them.
Help!!! My heart says B but my head says A
