Also what do you think of size of schools. Our current school is quite small, and some of the schools we are looking at are twice the size. So 800 rather than 400 students. I like the small school feel, but a bigger school might mean a greater chance of meeting like minded peers and also being able to support a greater variety of services.
Sorry no help but this made me laugh. My son's school has 440 and it is the biggest primary in the area. When you said small I thought less than 100. I can't imagine 800 but a lot does depend on the size and layout of the school itself.
I don't think I would change if progress is being made but then I haven't changed when no progress is being made because I know the other schools are worse.
