DS had chosen his first choice of school, we were both happy with it and it's a lovely school.
School A is the one we chose. None of his friends were going there but it's the one recommended by several teachers, has a good OFSTED report, has slightly higher results in the exams, about 6% higher. It has higher levels of deprivation.
School B used to be the school to go to and my eldest went there and did well. DS didn't like it when he looked round and I wasn't keen. The OFSTED was pretty dire, which was expected. The new head called in OFSTED and got some good stuff in the report due to changes that he has already implemented. The general feeling is that the school is going places and will be the place to go to soon.
DS has now changed his mind and wants to go to School B as all his friends are putting that as their first choice.
I can't decide whether to change it or not.
