Hi - has anyone had their children take an educational assessment to help them decide on schools? Thinking Potential Plus, but I guess there are private Ed Psychs that could do the same thing. But will it be worth it, and help us decide?
By way of background... We are trying (and failing) to decide on which route will suit our children best at Yr7 - local comp, selective private, super-selective private. They are bright, but we don't know at what level, i.e. happily top of the class, or potential to get bored, etc.
No help from the current (state primary) school, they don't Set for anything, and no g&t provision/support. All I know is that they are top of their classes (in top 3 probably) and their teachers always say how bright/'up there' they are. Which is great, but not that helpful So I'm going pretty much on gut feeling at the moment, which is no way to make such an important decision!
