My child currently attends a private prep school as I work there.
There is an excellent secondary school in our town, where I would love her to go but you must be in a feeder school to get a place.
Would you move your child in year 6 so they can get into the secondary?
If I leave them at the private school we have the issue of having to try and find the money for private senior, hoping we might get a scholarship etc which is never a certainty!

There is space. I guess I just worry about joining a school in year 6, friendships, bigger classes, less sport. But maybe it is worth it for the great secondary.
