Tom got into his preferrred secondary school

[Harrison]

It was difficult. We had a similar issue with his Primary school. We had just moved house to a new area at the time and didn't know any of the local schools. In the end he started going to the school my wife teaches at, but after a couple of years we found it wasn't ideal as there was too much focus on him. So we moved him to a school close to our house which he had enjoyed.

With the secondary schools it was far more what he thought of those on offer. But we still had to make sure it felt right for him too. Hopefully he will be happy there.

It is scary thinking he's off to secondary school and will soon be a teenager.
