Post regularly on mumsnet but name changed for this as scared of being misconstrued - please try to understand what I am saying.
Nearest school to us got a bad Ofsted a couple of years ago but says it's improving and I have no doubt it will pull itself up from its 3 rating by the time DD should be due to go there in 2 years time.
My concern is - and would be interested to hear from teachers and parents in same situation - is if you live in a deprived area where half the kids do not speak English as their first language, whether it means that those who do then don't get challenged as much at school? Does this turn out to be a problem?
Please don't flame me for this because I realise this could sound like I don't want my child to go to a multicultural school. I do very much. However I don't want to sacrifice her education on an ideal.....

How difficult is it in a class where half do not speak English as their first language?
