Solihull School
Posted: Wed Feb 13, 2013 7:57 pm
Im looking for an insight into this school as DS has received an offer. I know academically it is one of the better independent schools in the area, however I have concerns of it being a little less diverse that KES or the Priory for example.
I know someone who went there may years ago and refused to allow his mother to collect him because she wore a headscarf for which he would be taunted about by his peers.
Coming from a visually practising muslim family with quite orthodox views, I'm concerned how well receptive the school will be in certain areas and also how well my son will fit in. I know children from similar backgrounds have fitted in really well with the likes of KES and I have a DD at EHS where she too has fitted in really well and the school itself have been most accomodating.
I've also come across 2 negatives reviews on the schoolnet website and as a result am even more concerned.
I'll be going along later in the month to visit the school but any advice would be most appreciated.
