I wonder if any fellow mumsnets have experience or knowledge of the above schools. Due to DH job we may be relocating to the Lancaster/Morecambe area around Xmas.
I have a dd just turned 12 & a ds aged 14. The move is still only a "possibility" at this stage, however it would be invaluable to learn more on the above schools because I'm worried it will all end up being a rush move in the end. DH's potential future colleagues unfortunately only have experience of putting kids through the Grammar Schools and seem to poo poo all the others. Thought we were warming to Dallam but he was told there is a new Headteacher/management and it is not for the best. I really liked the website of Dallam but I am concerned if there are rumours about negative changes to the school and pastoral care not being very good anymore.
At a push we could probably afford an independent school. It seems the nearest are Sedburgh, Windermere & Clitheroe unless there are others ?
Grammar schools don't seem to be an option either as neither child has taken the 11+.
Thankyou for any advice you can share. x
