I have an incredibly sensitive child who struggles in interacting with his peers. He gets quite anxious if he is told off or forced to do something he feels he's not capable of so needs kids gloves re: handling, guiding and supporting. He's able but needs a push to get where he needs to be. I feel he'll be lost in a state school. So we've narrowed down two schools in Pinner- Reddiford and Buckinghamshire Prep schools. Does anyone have any experience of either and recommend which one might be suited to my child? Son turns 4 in December and isn't enjoying currently nursery setting.
I've been to visit both schools and they have own strengths (distance, etc.) but we won't be able to afford a private secondary place without a scholarship so which school is better in getting their pupils into good secondaries on grants/scholarships? I know that's thinking too far ahead but I'm assuming once children get used to a private/prep school environment, they won't be able to handle a mainstream secondary environment?
