...for a primary school for my DD's.
I'm very undecided.
The local village schools are all pretty good. Small which is great for teaching but I could foresee problems with friendships for DD's and could be claustrophobic. We live on the outskirts of town so I could see geography being an issue too.
The schools in town are a mixed bunch but there are some good ones (some very good) and they seem to offer more diversity in the curriculum and opportunities available. I guess more students equals more money. I'm quite drawn to this model but am concerned about whether its best for the DD's. DD1 particularly is a worrier and can be quite shy.
In an interesting position as under the local admissions system we won't get into our closest school so have to look further afield. There's a very high chance that we would get into both the village or other schools in the town.
Anyway I'm rambling I'd just welcome your experiences good and bad of both types of school.
