DS is in PAN for STRS and is outside for Pate's (but in a position that is very likely to gain him a place). Struggling to decide between the two schools.
DS will be only child going to Pate's from his primary school but will be amongst a group for STRS. Wondering about actual transition experience for Pate's as STRS seems to do more - with activity taster days before term starts; 3 day residential in first term with form group; and year group trip to Lake District later in Year 7. Views on pastoral care/transition in Year 7 for both schools would be useful.
Have a friend with child at STRS whose only reservation is that her child who is keen on sport, loves his games lessons, and of average ability in sport has not really got involved in many extra curricular sports activities - she says it may just be her son.
Would be great to hear input on extra curricular clubs at both schools.
Thanks
