Today's Parents' Forum at St. Columba's Church in Knightsbridge was very interesting. It was a very good opportunity to talk to parents as they set out on the whole school journey. Most parents there had very young children or were even expecting children and they had the opportunity to listen to speakers representing different types of schools.
Two of the speakers were representing London pre-preps and I had the chance to make the case for the prep schools, in particular boarding prep schools. I talked about the advantages of being in the country as opposed to the town, the advantages of single sex education and also I had the chance to talk about boarding schools.
There was a chance for discussion afterwards and I hope that the parents present found it useful.
