North Bridge House vs Trevor Roberts

[pooparts]

Any thoughts on which prep is better? Or which is better for particular type of child?

If you are normal go to Northbridge. If you are famous-TR.

Have you visited the schools? What did you think?
I found them to be completely different to eachother. But only you would be able to judge which is more suited to your dc and to you as parent.

New to private education so keen to hear thoughts of others.

they are very different: chalk and cheese. what did you think of the feel of them? which would best meet your dc's needs / personality? prefer tr personally.

Would like sound academic education without excessive pressure and with dyslexia support. Good science.

"Would like sound academic education without excessive pressure and with dyslexia support. Good science." Trevor roberts it is then

Why?

I know that TR only believes in each child competing against themselves not others. It is quite a nurturing school and is smaller than NBH. By coincidence I had a nephew there who raved about the good science teaching and facilities. But your child has every chance of doing well at either school.

Lazymum, I've seen a few of your other posts, and think you might be a bit of an expert. I have two boys. Both pretty bright. One v dyslexic and one not very. I was hoping NBH would get them up to scratch for CE and by then the dyslexia wouldn't be so much of an issue so that they might end up at good London day schools. I might have to put a bit of Fairley House in the mix for the v dyslexic one before NBH.
Do you think TR would handle this better? What about the posh factor that others mention?

Not sure what you mean by 'by then the dyslexia wouldn't be as much of an issue'. It does not go away, he can be taught different ways of learning/coping but the learning difficulty itself does not disappear. How old are your sons?

I don't know much about NBH, just some complaints about it being run too much like a business. And at 11 they split them between those able to do CE and those who will go into their senior school.

I am no expert.

Any other thoughts?

how old is your dyslexic ds? might be better to go straight to fairley house and then after the appropriate period they will get him into an appropriate school

Another call. Perhaps anyone with experience of either place?
