The start of a fantastic new adventure.

With the end of the school year now approaching, many children are coming to the end of their time at school, with either a move to secondary school on the cards or moving onto 6th form or college a distinct possibility.
These are both exciting and yet anxious times for most children, with the possibility of having to say goodbye to some of their friends, causing emotional turmoil and the feeling of having to almost start again and make a new selection of friends at their new school. For 5 or 6 years, children start to form strong bonds with some of their fellow students, which for some when they all move to different schools can cause massive emotional strain and a lot of worry about not having any friends.
For some it can be even worse, as they move to different counties or sometimes even countries, which is where understanding what your child is going through and offering them the correct level of support is crucial if you want to make sure they are going to enjoy their new school, almost making it feel like the start of a fantastic new adventure.

Going to school is the strong social bond

When we look back on our school days, some of us will have very happy memories and maybe some of us will have less of the happy memories, but either way, we will all be able to highlight some of the good moments that we had over the 7 or 8 years that we spent in compulsory education.
For many, one of the best things about going to school is the strong social bond that is made with others, because the school years often present the first social challenges that we will face, with so many people around us that we have to form some kind of relationship with, including fellow students and teachers as well.
Of course, sometimes things are not always that great for everyone, because with social bonds also come social break ups, and school children can often find themselves at the wrong end of an argument which can often affect their time in school and also their performance.
It is vital that the parents and teachers are aware of any changes that might occur in the behaviour of pupils and children, because quite often, problems at school are very noticeable when they are outside of school, as they can become subdued or their behaviour can suddenly change.

Which type of school is better?

When it comes to where to send your child or children to school, this is often a decision that most parents will face twice, with primary school and secondary school both decisions that have to be made to make sure that your child gets the best education.
When it comes to making those educational choices, there are two main options and these are state school and private school, with the state school being paid for by the Government per child, but the private school needing funding from the parents or relatives per term, for the child to attend.
There have been many debates over the years about which type of school is better, but it often comes down to the school, rather than what type of school it is, which means that making sweeping statements about which is better is often not justified or realistic.
It is quite often true that private schools have a better teacher to pupil ratio, which means there are fewer students per teacher and that the classes are smaller, which has been proved to enhance and improve how much the child is able to learn during their lessons.

Information by having an informal discussion

When you get a phone call from your child’s school, saying that they might be struggling or having problems at the school, it can be very easy to get all heated up and immediately react by being upset, defensive or really panicky.
Rather than go through a million and one emotions unnecessarily, it is important that you keep a calm head and realise that the situation is not really about you, it is about your child, and therefore you have to deal with it in a rational, managed and mild mannered way.
The first step is to arrange an appointment with the school to go and see their teacher or head teacher without them, to try and understand what is happening or what has happened to warrant the phone call. Often the school will want to see you separately anyway, but after this meeting, they might want to see you and your child to discuss what is going on.
It is also really important to speak to your child and find out what is going on, without jumping to conclusions or pre-judging, because quite often you can find more information by having an informal discussion, than ranting and raving, desperately trying to find answers.

Specialist Independent Schools are often schools

Specialist Independent Schools are often schools that specialise in one or more things that are generally considered uncommon outside of these schools, maybe specialising in a particular field of teaching or a learning disability.

Many children with learning disabilities can tend to struggle when going to main stream school that might lack the understanding of the disability, because although these children are undoubtedly gifted, they can sometimes not learn at the same rate or in the same way as other children who do not have learning disabilities or the same type of issues.

For students needing a little extra help because of specific learning difficulties, such as dyslexia or dyspraxia, sending them to a specialist school can make all of the difference for their learning potential, because these schools know how to best teach the students and get the most from them.

Generally, because these learning disabilities can hinder children when in a big classroom environment, smaller and specialist schools can tailor learning environments to the child, making their experience far more fruitful.

Because these disabilities often require specific training and understanding, sending your child to a specialist school can really help them to get the most of their learning and even if you cannot find a local school that can offer this, some do have a better understanding than others.

Choosing the right school for your child is a dilemma

Choosing the right school for your child is a dilemma that all parents have to go through at some stage, whether they are trying to decide which local school to send their children to or whether to opt for something a bit further afield with specialist schools or boarding schools an option for some parents.

Choosing the right school is one of those decisions that you just have to get right, as all being well, your child will be there for many years and will want to walk away with the right qualifications, life skills and social skills that will propel them onto big things, both in their career and in their social lives.

With both state schools and private schools an option for some, you really do need to carry out your research before applying to the school (s) that you are interested in, and there are many ways that you can research a school before you fill in that application form.

You can visit the school, read through the various reports on the school and also speak to fellow parents who have maybe already put their child through that school, all of which can help you to make sure that when you make your choice, it is the most correct and informed choice that you could possibly hope to make.
