Communication
Parents of children in an Independent school felt more involved in their childs education. From parent breakfast to more frequent meetings, parents felt more included.
Environment
62 per cent of parents with children in the private school system believe their school’s environment is motivating, supportive and nurturing. If you are going down the Independent Schools route, The Independent Schools Council is a good starting point (www.isc. co.uk). Make a list of preferred schools you are intersted in, view their websites to check admission dates and processes and find out the ethos behind each school. As with state secondary schools, not all independent schools are the same, so do your homework, talk to parents whose children attend the school, attend Open Days and make sure that you put your child first. To save you a little bit of time, we have highlighted the main Independent Schools in Bath with their contact details.
