I’m completely new to the process so any advice will be gratefully received.
We’re just starting to look at secondary options for our DD. Probably independent over state atm, but after reading some threads here, am I correct to only now realise we should apply to more than 1 school?!
Which is fine, except there aren’t that many realistic choices! We’ll probably apply for the state schools as well, in that case.
But what’s a reasonable commute to school - I was considering an option about a 40 min drive away, but have ruled it out as there’s need to be time for relaxing and still homework at the end of the day.
Also how long to spend on homework each night in Year 7? She’s currently at a school (aged 9) that doesn’t “do” homework - which I was initially fine with, but she’s going have a big shock in a couple of years!
