DS1 is in year 4 so I'm starting to think about secondary.
Locally the is an outstanding state school that we are in catchment for so would almost certainly get a place.
There are a few co-ed private schools a short drive away, but they're out of my price range.
There is also a nearby grammar school, which requires a very good mark in the 11-plus exam. It's a boys' school, and is widely thought of as being the best school in the area.
However, I have instinctive reservations about boys schools. I went to a girls school and I feel that, whilst it gave me a good academic education, it was an artificial environment, and I found it harder to relate to boys than my contemporaries.
What thoughts or experiences can you share with me about boys' schools? Thank you
