Hi there. My family is moving from the US to the UK in a few months, and we are trying to decide what kind of school we want our children to attend. My oldest will be starting Reception this year. We have the opportunity to send her to any independent school in the Gloucester area, which will be funded by my husband's employer. Are there any major benefits to sending her to an independent school vs a local state school? I am unfamiliar with the schooling system over there and I'd like to hear different perspectives. What kind of differences can I expect?
