We are considering moving our Year 4 boy from a state primary school to a private school, possibly this September. It is all a bit last minute and I am in two minds about it but my husband is very keen for us to make the move sooner rather than later and ideally get him into a school which goes up to 13 for taking Common Entrance. My son is doing ok at his state school and is fairly bright, not highly sporty, a very happy soul, just middle of the road really.
I just wanted any constructive advice from anyone who has made or considered this move from state to private (at this age) and any advice on any schools. I have heard negative reports about Northcote Lodge and I just don't think it is us anyway. Not that this should be relevant but family have offered to pay for his education and we are not Mr & Mrs Loadsofmoney ourselves!
Any tips gratefully received!
