Hi all, I'd be grateful for your thoughts and advice.
I don't want to out myself or my DS so apologies for any vagueness. My DS (aged 12) has a 13+ boarding place at a well-regarded boys private school in South East England so would start Sept 2021.
He is currently at a very small all-boys prep school and last year did 2 nights per week boarding which he seemed to enjoy. However, this year he has got increasingly upset about boarding these two nights. I am getting really worried that he may not be suited to boarding but we haven't got a plan B. He did try for a couple of day schools last year (in Y6) but didn't get offers. He really likes the school he is due to go to in 2021 and says he thinks he will be fine to board then...he just doesn't want to do so now.
What do you think? Should we be thinking of other options?
