Wondering how selective, "selective" is ?! Is it purely/mainly on academics or do different schools have a whole host of criteria, and select based on "fit"? DS is Y4 state and so far performing averagely, but is not particularly being pushed at school or at home. We think that with a bit more pushing, structure and routine, he could raise his levels higher. Does the fact that he's not yet (or naturally) academically driven suggest that a non-selective school would be better anyway? Always assumed he would be academically orientated (into books, natural writer, keen on languages etc) but it does not appear to be the case so far. Any advice welcome, really have become a bit clueless on direction.
