Hello! So pleased to find an Edinburgh forum! I would welcome any thoughts about one of the hardest decisions I'll ever make :(
I have two boys 9 and 6. Very different so no school would be perfect for both, I don't think. 9 year old dyslexic but bright, average academic performance and shy. Sort of boy that will attract bullies IMO. 6 year old - very academic, not shy. We can afford to send them to private school. Although this may seem lucky, having the choice is agony! Both currently happy in state primary.
Any views on what school you would pick if you were in my shoes? My husband and I both went to state schools so we have no experience of private schools. We were impressed though at the recent Heriots open day......
Not sure which school would support dyslexia most (although is mild), which one has less bullying etc etc.
They are attending for assessments next week at Heriots so depending on that, might not even have a choice. We decided to let them sit them, make the decision later....
Would love any views, good or bad! Particularly interested to hear from anyone with kids at these school :)
