My daughter attends the local primary school and we have had many issues with the infamous "boredom" situation. She is currently in Y3.
The plan was to carry on regardless until the end of primary with a view to transferring her to GSAL or similar secondary as local secondaries are very poor, but this year we have hit an all time low.
She is very unhappy, she is in a very low achieving cohort and the focus this year seems entirely on the bottom group. I am thinking of moving her early but I was wondering if anyone had experience of GSAL. We have visited and liked it but have heard mixed reviews with regards to girls attending (as it was a boys' school previously) and also its size (it's huge) and wondering if anyone could allay my fears.
DD visited too and like the look and feel of it. All she wants to do is work at her level really, something that sadly hasn't been possible so far in her school. Also she is very musical, so any comments on that would be appreciated too!!! Thanks in advance for your help...
