DS is 7. He is bright, but not really interested in anything academic and loves football and golf. When should we start thinking about tutoring and how often? Can anyone in Manchester recommend a reputable agency.

If just high, most tutor for the whole of Yr5 and maybe some of Yr4 btw

Yes they run the buses from near the cinema. Depends on how adamant on him going there & how much spare cash you have? The local state schools are very very good too - no bad options.
But facilities at MGS are amazing if you don't mind it being all boys. Lots go at year 3

The bus links are on the website I think (sorry, I don’t know off the top of my head but I’ve definitely seen them on there!)

From memory there might be a stop east Didsbury way, but any closer (the village / west Didsbury) you’d be looking at the 143 / 142 which isn’t ideal for prep but fine for seniors

Thanks. He loves his primary school, but actually the prep might be a good option. Do you know if they have occasional places. We live in Didsbury. Does anyone know if there is a bus that runs from here?

Why not look at their prep school?
They can enter at various ages
