Hi All, I live in a area where the primary schools are not good. My DD has been given admission in a school which is of rank 3.(requires improvement).
We would like our daughter to get into one of the grammar schools for secondary education.
But given the track record of our local state school, it would be difficult to acheive it, unless she is given extensive private tutoring after school hours.
So, I would want my DD to join a prep school from year 3. But it looks like the private schools have a very limited intake in year 3. They typically admit students in reception and those students continue until year 6.
I live in surrey and Can someone advise me about private schools in surrey area that have a good intake in year3. If there are such schools, how easy/difficult it is to get into them?
I dont want my DD to miss out on the benefits of a prep school but I also think private education for preprep doesnt add much value. I would go for pre-prep only if the chances of getting into a private prep at year 3 is very difficult.
We are a normal working class family and live in Staines-upon-Thames. The prep school that I'm looking at is Staines prep.
Looking for advice from experienced members.
