School Dilemma
Hello all,
A different question, I know choosing school is a personal choice but we are in different situations and I would like here your opinion which might help me take a decision.
Story time - my DS started secondary in a private school in 2025 at Y7, he was on a 20% academic scholarship. He absolutely loved it there and thrived his y7. But unfortunately due to some circumstances school got closed last month in middle of summer holidays. lot of kids became school less, we live in an area where secondary school is not great(needs improvement) hence we choose private option at first place.
Now as this has happened we applied to state schools other side of the city which are good, was given a decision saying he has been kept on waiting list. so we took admission in another private school with 20% scholarship. And today 11th sep we received an email saying he has been allocated a place in one of the state secondaries we have applied..
This has brought so much confusion now, If I remove him from private and put him in state will it effect him so much, will I be doing injustice with him, do state schools finish curriculum on time, anyone moved kids like this from private to state? He is acedemically a bright child, he do sports in pe and all but not too much into sports.
financially we are not rich just putting our income into education.I have another child but she is only going into y2 so lot of time for secondary.
I am not sure if I asked what I wanted to buy I am very confused..
