Don't worry - they all get a bit too cool for school at this time in Y6 and then, regardless of what type of school they are going to, (they are all JUST schools after all, same curriculum, same problems!) come back down to earth with a bump in Y7 when they suddenly realise they are bottom of the pile again!
100% agree. Both my children and the vast majority of their peers got bored and outgrew primary school during year 6, regardless of which schools they were going on to. Their primary school recognised it and spent a lot of time on school plays, sports and going into the reception classes etc to help there - it helped a bit but they were ready to leave... as they were ready to leave nursery and as I expect them to be ready to leave school in year 13 and university when the time comes.
