Dear parents,
I have an honest question to ask. We are an Indian couple looking to join a prep school in Clapham , Hornsby being our top choice.
The one thing which worries is the diversity in the school - an initial short tour of the school suggested its > 90% white British, and we would like to understand if that can be an issue for kids, she will be joining at 3 years old.
We've been in London a while, so we are well integrated and don't find it an issue. However our question is genuinely from a young Childs point of view and what they may/may not face in school - even if they are innocent questions such as why do you have skin in that color, or black facial hair. Do such questions impact children in their younger years.
I would appreciate if parents from similar backgrounds can get back to me on this, as it is something that's in our mind and would ideally like to get some views on.
Again i'd like to stress, this is a question of how the child may feel in school, not a wider question.
Would a state school like Belleville have a different mix ?
