Kingswood house in Epsom, surbiton prep or Weston green school in Thames ditton

[Ityoj]

Hi All,

I would love for anyone to share there experience on the above schools.

We live in Thames ditton and hoping to send my very very shy boy to reception this year (I have left it late but all have places).

Which school would be most nurturing, all rounder schools.

He may need extra support as he is a little behind. We think he maybe on the spectrum but unsure and if so very mild.

Thanks a lot.

Sorry for all the typos!

Hello,

I have just come across your post and not sure if this information is still relevant but my ds is at Kingswood now. There are several pros at the school as well as cons. The school caters for children of various abilities and many have private 1:1 tuition at school to support them in various areas (dyslexia, OP, SLT, etc). My ds is also rather shy although he's older than yours. Unfortunatley, we discovered that there is a problem with bullying at school and it's not just the case for my ds but I have seen it happen to others too. Initially, we wanted to move closer to the school but are now not sure anymore as it's a big committment.

Thanks @stripycatlola this is very interesting as we have been (loosely) considering KH. Are the school not taking the issue seriously?

Hi
I think that's a really good point @Meissenvase - what's being done by the school. I doubt any school could truly say they have not had incidences of bullying but how they approach it and support the children is important. KH has some great teachers, the head of lower prep is great, and do take the time to ensure all the children (and parents) are happy and safe. Every child is known and encouraged. Would suggest you visit if you can and talk to the teachers and the boys themselves - always an honest answer there!

@Meissenvase they did eventually - but not straight away to be honest which caused my ds and us a lot of concern and upset. I suggest you pay them a visit and if at all possible, ask to come during a normal school day to judge for yourself.
