Dear all, I urgently need an advice please. My DS (4 years old, started Reception in river house montessori school this year), has been offered a place in dulwich prep school. I wanted him moved because there were too many incidents (head related) in the river house school; also i'm looking at older kinds in montessori school - there is no strict education system in there, it's more like a play, but then again i love the home work he gets from school; commuting - again, i work in the city so DLR is perfect and quick way to work and back; now i have to use orange line (canada water to crystal palace and then a taxi), we live in canada water... but then again - if DS doesn't get into a proper school now it will be hard later on, right? and he's really good at math and loves to learn. not sure what to do. I applied to Garden house school, knightsbridge school (but too late, only in september this year) and there were no places left. Other private schools are also overcrowded. maybe place him there until he's 7 and then he'll have more chances to pass exams somewhere else (so commute will be a temp thing?) thank you so much, any feedback is welcome. Warm regards, Elena

That's very cool. I learned Russian for a few years at school but have sadly forgotten it all. He's bound to be in classes with other Russian-speaking children as he moves through the British school system.
That said, I can't think of any outside the box ideas for jumping waitlists because he speaks Russian, sorry. Stick to that gut instinct!
