Hi all, I was hoping someone could help me. I love both schools. One seems more structured (without being too restrictive), but I have nothing against the other's methods at all. The atmosphere in both seems lovely - which is very important as my 7 yr old is confident, chatty and very sociable but also a rather 'sensitive soul'! I want him to be happy and serene but also have a solid study routine, calm and organised environment and lots of opportunities to make the most of his abilities. He is a lovely, bright and happy child - draws, paints, sings, plays a lot at home! I simply would like the school to help us direct his abilities and support us in channelling his (huge amounts of) energy in right direction. He is a typical boy, diistracted easy and with concentration of a flea :) - but he is a good boy, not a rebel at all! He is very sociable and keen to learn, just needs an encouraging, positive environment and organised structure to follow. We both work full time and though we try our best to work with him at weekends and go over his homework in the evening with him - we are hoping for lots of parents/school communication and clear feedback on how things are going etc. My main worry is that although i do not want to focus on the future too much, I am also aware of how competitive and stressful the whole exam process for secondary school can be. I do not want this to come as a surprise to him, i would like him to know that school life is fun and amazing but also stressing at times and have had the opportunity to develop coping skills that will help him sit exams and follow whatever school/carreer path he wants. Sorry if i have gone on too long., first time post...! Thanks for all help in advance
