My DS is currently still in the early years at an outstanding state primary in SW London. He is very happy and settled, but for a variety of reasons we are considering whether to move him to an independent boys prep school that goes to 13+. I am really torn at the moment on what to do. He is very bright and academically able, he loves his current school - but due to the large class size and number of SEN classmates I'm worried that he is not really being stretched. Would really appreciate any first hand insights on how possible it is to get a place at selective state or indie boys day-schools in SW London from a state primary (and whether a lot of tutoring was needed?). I'm also concerned that choosing the 13+ prep school route might be restrictive - is it still possible to sit the 11+ for co-ed secondary schools (from a prep school that primarily focused on 13+ CE) or would this be totally different preparation needed vs the 11+ pre-tests? Many thanks - am one very confused mommy at the moment!
