I wondered if anyone with children in LEH Juniors could give me feedback on what the school is like please? I am considering entering my DD for the exam but will need to prep her for it as her school won't do this. Therefore, I would like to find out whether we would really want the school if we were lucky enough to be offered a place.
Apart from the obvious academic requirements, what sort of child is suited to the school? And is there a particular type of parent who is likely to be happiest there?
How many children are there in a class and is it just a teacher per class or are there teaching assistants too?
What is academic pace like for the children who have met the academic requirements? Is it demanding and pressured for them? Are parents expected to give lots of homework support and /or address any weaknesses that may be noticed in their academic progress?
What has their remote schooling provision been like in lockdown (as I am assuming at the moment that periods of home schooling may be a possibility for years to come!)?
Do most children progress automatically to LEH senior school? Any opposition from the school to providing references to other schools if you decide not to go to LEH seniors (and they want you to)?
