Dd at a lovely primary school with roughly 150 children. The feeder school seems a great school, but there are due to be 1500 children in the next year. Dd one if those children who behaviour good, cruises and one of the more able children and pretty quite in class. The kind of child that will easier go unnoticed. I can't see how she will not just become lost in the crowd in such a big school. I doesn't think it help as I did, my mother remembered a teacher didn't even know which child I was at a parents evening after my first year of secondary (had he twice a week sat at the back and I just got on with my work).
I'm really not sure what to do for secondary as their is a possibility of her going to a very good private school with only 600 children but then I take her away from her peer group and friends and it going be a bit of a financial juggle even with grandparent help.
