St Anthony's/The Academy/Edgegrove/Heathside/Belmont

[ha5411]

I have a bright child who is a little wriggly and has some very minor dyspraxia-like symptoms. All these issues are expected to go away as my child matures. Nothing serious enough to get a statement, but disruptive enough to be an issue, at the moment, in the (very traditional) current school. My child's confidence is now very low! Can anyone give me recommendations on the schools I listed? Anywhere else I haven't thought of?

Thank you.

I would definitely discount heathside at the moment due to so much movement and uncertainty and the academy (both have no outside space). Edgegrove and belmont are in fantastic grounds- edgegrove in particular is a top nurturing school, I have had lots of friends send there but no direct experience! (except . a bro in law of mine who went albeit 20 years ago, who said it would be his dream to send my nephew there if he could afford it!).
St Anthonys fab school too but different vibe and slightly more pressurised I would say, as well as it being catholic. Have you visited?

Thanks so much. Your comments are very useful. We are quite far from Edgegrove but can get to the others more easily. I will look at the others over the next month or so. Any other ideas?

How old is your child?

In year 3 so would have to be outside the usual intake.
