Hi I know that the conversation around state v private primary has been done to death but I would really like some advice! Our DS did not get an offer at our local state school and we really did not think we would get a place as it is a CoE primary. We looked at local private schools and DS got a place at Snaresbrook prep. We liked the school, it seemed friendly, the teachers were engaged and the results into private secondaries seemed good.
We found out last week that DS got a place at Wanstead Church School which is the school we wanted (it is an outstanding state primary)! We were really happy and want to send him to the state but we know that for secondary we would like to go private. We are worried after seeing the results for Snaresbrook prep that DS maybe at a disadvantage at Wanstead Church School to get into private secondary. Does anyone have any experience of moving from state primary to state secondary and specifically have any experiences of either of these schools and know of anyone that moved from Wanstead Church School to private secondary? If they did move successfully how did you do it!
Really appreciate any thoughts or insights!
