Alternative/Arts school

[Sunbun]

Moving to London from US this summer, with DS starting Yr 7 in Sept. Looking for alternative private or public school with artistic or open/free slant. Any suggestions welcome.

All state schools have to follow the National Curriculum or close. You may also find it tricky to get into a State school of your choice (a public school inthe UK is not a state school). I would also suggest you learn a bit about UK schools as the curriculum and language of education is quite different from the US.

A little outside London, but is a boarding school. Bedales probably is what you are looking for.

Happy Easter! Thank you for your comments. Anyone with any experience of Maharishi schools?

Never heard if them and dh is a teacher.

Just googled. I vaguely remember seeing a news article on this now. It's sort of Buddhist orcdonething (meditation) and there is only one in Lancashire other end if the country from London.

Frensham Heights?

You might try a Montessori? Fairly certain there is a Montessori primary in London.
