dd1 is in Year6. She was working confortably at level 4 last year. I suspect she is not gifted and talented, nor does she have any real difficulties at school.
Can anyone give me any advice about which schools would be a suitable match (e.g. NLC would appear to be for the gifted and talented!).
We looking for a good traditional, academic education in a school with smaller class sizes and a more individual approach than is likely in the Harrow LA high schools. Although not shy, dd1 is fairly quiet and thoughtful etc and I don't think she would put herself forward and demand attention as much as would be necessary in a large very mixed ability, co-ed environment.
Also we don't like the idea of her remaining at her (state) primary until year 8 as is the way in Harrow LA.
