Children should be heading to the right school that will develop their skills and get them through those difficult times easily, without falling behind. A school can and should be attracting the right talent to see gradual growth in learning for their students, but parents should consider the best schools for their children in their area. Here are some top tips for helping you pick out the right school for your child.
Exam success
Children will want to see where they can develop their skills for future careers and education, which is why you should pick a school that prioritises exam success. This will be found from the ground up through the curriculum teachers provide and the support students get each week. Parents can take a look at previous exam results online when considering different schools. This can sway a lot of parents into choosing the right school for their child to progress in.
Ask parents what they think
Another key indicator will be what the parents say about different schools. It’s a good chance to talk to other parents in a smaller school and see what they say. It can give your child a bit more chance to explore the schools in your local area to see which one would be a good fit. This will of course vary on whether you are choosing a public school or one of these Redbridge schools, a prep school in the region or a private Sixth Form. It will all vary from your child’s particular circumstances, but parents’ opinions can offer a lot more insight than you’d think.
Check the support in the local area
While your child’s school will be their biggest resource, there should be a wealth of resources available to you around the school. The local area a school is based in will have all of these facilities, so taking a look around at a school on an open day will answer a lot of these questions for you.
When considering a school, think about the other facilities you will need to consider or explore with your child. The popular ones will be how they will get to school, what food they will eat on site, but also if there are clubs, societies and tutors available around the area. It needs to be a good place for your child to thrive as they will be around this part of the world for some time.
Take the time to pick out the right school that caters to your child’s particular needs. It shouldn’t be a quick decision and requires a length of research to ensure the school you pick out is the right one. Researching early can save you a lot of time later on, and it ensures your child gets the education they deserve.
