Dh and I are considering this route for our ds who is nearly six. Both of us were state grammar educated and so have no experience of this system (our dd is in a selective indie girl's school but not a public school). Clearly there is an old boys network with public schools and we're a bit worried that with no "history" behind us we might get dismissed by some schools.
What schools should we look at for ds - prep and beyond? He is a very active boy, has just started playing rugby which he loves and seems bright. He is very confident and socialises well. We would plan to move near to a prep school so he could be a day boy and then probably board him from 13.
Has anyone any experience of this sort of school when they haven't been public-school educated themselves? Are we just going to get laughed at?
