DS1 is in yr 6 at a coed prep and will stay there til yr 8 and move to private senior school for yr 9.
I'm wondering how people go about preparing a short list of schools and how many you visited with / without child.
Ideally we want a day school but I'm not fixed on single sex / coed. More interested in the school itself. If we consider weekly / flexi boarding then there are more options..
We have 2 coed day schools near us which are the obvious choices but our prep school is encouraging us to throw the net wider.. so we can also consider single sex flexi boarding, another coed day, three more coed weekly boarding and another single sex weekly boarding...
So then I have 8 schools in total. All have pros and cons on paper, none seem ideal. Should we visit them all (feels like too many)? Do we need to visit this term? In terms of admissions there is no big rush as non use iseb and either use CE or own exam in yr 8.
