Considering moving dd1 (age 6) from state school to independent school. Her confidence at school is low (she is not at top or bottom of class and struggles with the little or no attention she receives in the middle as she causes them no problems/raises no eyebrows). We think she is a bright girl whose confidence is getting in the way of her learning. Dallington is one of two schools we are choosing between (we live NE London and do not want to drive to Hampstead). Like small class sizes and warm atmosphere without lots of pointless rules but have heard of lots of people pulling their children out of the school after the early years part too. Any views would be gratefully received. It is decision time for us.
