anyone recommend a good boarding school?

[johnso]

Just wondering if anyone could recommend a good boarding school for my youngest.
We have decided to send him as term time boarder, back for holidays

I see Johnso starting a thread and its become like a spectator sport for me, I can't resist reading it to see who has been sucked in! Have to admit they are usually quite amusing threads to read.
Sooner or later everyone will ignore her/his threads but then will prob name change and carry on.

I find them amusing. Humour has aplace on MN.
If you would rather stick pins in you eye then why are you posting?

But if you don't find it entertaining, janitor, what are you doing popping back onto this thread every two seconds? Why not go and look for some pins?

Lol Cory
It does seem strange doesn't it?
Also, people that bother to post yawn or attention seeker are very amusing

I thought the job of a 5 year old is to be around their mum all the time because THEY LOVE HER and WANT TO SPEND TIME WITH HER? I find it quite sad that someone would wish to get away from this so they could have more time to themselves. Children (most of them) are a joy. In a few years time he won't want to be around you, he'll be out with his friends. It's very sad that this child is seen as a burdon that you want to get rid of. Of course he's saying he wants to go. He can pic up that you feel this way but he doesn't realise what it means. You clearly have issues with your child and could benefit from professional support.

I see what you mean, janitor, but I don't think Johnso is really that bad. She is not antagonistic or unpleasant about other posters; she just throws out an outrageous suggestion and sits back and waits. If you don't think it funny, don't read. But I don't think it's a case of going against mumsnet policy. There are other established posters whom I find far more offensive.

lol at this htread

Oh, he is not the clingy type aveanap.
The opposite in fact.
I showed him the website link on here and he really liked the look of it

I'm sorry, you did say that you had no time for yourself. I don't understand why you want him to go. Plese enlighten me. I know that boarding looks fun but he'll be away from the people he loves and cares about. At this age they need to feel secure and wanted. I think packing them off goes against this. What problems are you having with him?

FGS He wants to go, aveanap

I don't think many five year olds have a concept of how long six weeks is to be away from their families.(assuming you'd pick him up at half term that is).

johnso - you know this is a wind up... have you really nothing better to do today??

How unpleasant

if he does want go then did you consider somewhere like the blue coat schools? They are very pastoral and academic too. and they take children from a young age. Can't say I'd send mine at 5 but they do ask for when they're older.

johnso does your DS really hate you that much?

How about this school.
