my neice is at school in salisbury and will be starting in year 4 in september.

she is a bright girl in many ways, but is academically falling behind and has some issues with friendships and concentration.

she is currently at quite an academic (state school) and is clearly not feeling like she is succeeding at school.

can anyone suggest a school in the area which might enable her to develop at her own pace instead of feeling like a failure?

she is sporty and musical, but struggles with maths and lit- she's probably performing at a year or so behind her chronological age.

am thinking that montessori or steiner, or something else less formal might suit, but dont know the area.

Hi,

I know people who are very happy with Greentrees (Bishopdown Farm). However,I have heard through the grapevine that many of its staff are seconded to other schools to try to help improve them.

I also know parents who are happy with Gomeldon, Woodford Valley and Winterbourne Schools. My children aren't at any of these (too far at the moment) so I haven't personal experience. For a small school I also know quite a few parents at Figeldean and their children seem happy, including the less academic ones.
