Why join a boarding prep at 10 or 11+?

Heads of two highly sought after prep schools discuss how they introduce children to boarding, and prepare them for boarding senior schools.

Topics discussed will include:

• Describe/characterise your schools
  
  • Where do pupils come from (location, kinds of schools, ages of entry)?
  • what age do children start boarding?
  • is it easier to start as a day pupil, then board? What about joining as a boarder? What age these days?
  • Academic profile of pupils
  • Outcomes (ie where they go next)
    How diverse is the school? (staff, pupils, parents)
• What kinds of children thrive in boarding prep schools?
• What kinds of families / children do not suit boarding?
• How do I know when my child is ready to board?
• There seem to be fewer boarding prep schools - why is that?
• My child is currently in a state primary. Do you have many entrants from the state system?
