Posting for some help please. I am a little ahead of myself as my DS is only in Junior School. My first choice was always one of the grammar schools in Birmingham for secondary. However, the schools seem to be bringing in catchment areas which we wouldn't fall into. We wouldn't want to move for a number of reasons (mainly proximity to GPs). Our local comprehensive is ok but wouldn't be my first choice. So our GPs have so generously offered to help pay for private school if we want and we think this may be a good option for DS. The choices are KES, Bromsgrove or Solihull. I am not sure about KES as the journey from where we live would be really long with traffic. Both Solihull and Bromsgrove have Junior Schools so if we chose one of those is it worth transferring my DS early ahead of senior? I know my DS may not get a place in any of these schools. I am just keen to know what people think of the schools, what sort of DC they suit and any general advice to help us weigh up options.
