Have decided to move DD after a nightmare 1st term at her senior school(last term). Lots of issues including bullying by exclusion and her total loss of self confidence due to these issues. There is lots of other stuff too, but irrelevant to this thread.
She previously boarded - with no issues extremely content,successful and happy for several years at her prep school. Its just all gone horribly wrong since she started at her new school. We have reached the point where moving her seems the better option.
I would love some recommendations of some schools. Our criteria:
Must be boarding with LOTS* of boarders, especially at weekends.
*Must have excellent Pastoral care and generally caring attitude and committed staff to this cause.
*Fairly academic
*Would prefer Co-Ed (but will consider a caring non bitchy all girls)
- Not too expensive - we are stretching ourselves financially on top of and despite employers allowance towards fees.
*Ideally within 2 hours of Bristol (will consider further afield for the right school though).
I would love to hear of any experiences of moving DC due to similar circumstances and personal experience of caring schools.
Many thanks in advance.
