This year Covid has prevented us from visiting schools or meeting pupils and teachers.
Our boy is fortunate to have offers from Latymer, Hampton and St Paul’s. The former have put on many online events with pupils and staff, and we have a really good idea about what makes teacher, leaders and pupils tick. St Paul’s has not reached out in a similar way. We understand, perhaps, why; St Paul’s may not feel they need to do this, as many boys are clambering to get in.
However, my question is: does this attitude continue when there? Or are staff very attentive to the individual needs of the child. With 3 days to go before accepting a place, and Hampton head, deputy, pupils, and others all giving up time to meet online to get to know our son, not to mention various online activities that we’ve been invited to join vs St Paul’s, where we have heard nothing, it’s very difficult to get a true idea of St Paul’s.
We are keen to ensure we choose the best school for our child, and would be so grateful to hear from any parents who have children there, or first hand knowledge of the junior and senior school?
