2 kids, boy(7) and girl (5) Kids are currently at local catholic school, very happy, settled and enjoying school. We are moving house in the next few weeks, current school is still an easy drive, but most of the kids in the immediate vicinity of our new house go to an excellent private school which is within half a mile.
Dh and I have discussed moving them to the private school, for two reasons, one, all their new friends will be going there, and two, whilst apparently quite bright in other areas, dd is struggling with reading and needs more one on one attention.
Against changing schools is that we are practising Christians, and I wanted them to go to a faith school, also, from my own experience of private school, some of the kids can be spectacularly brattish, and since dd has a tendancy towards being a brat, I don't want it encouraged lol.
Also, if we were to move, when is the best time? We are moving over the summer hols, so would starting new school in september be too much for them? Should I maybe leave it until Christmas when they have settled into new home?
