Teachers for Supply

There has always been a big debate regarding how much influence a boarding school has on a child’s behaviour and in my opinion there is no particular right answer. It often depends on the way the boarding school is ran and the teachers it employs and also the pupil. Some pupils respond well to being in an environment that is very structured and focused and therefore may excel at a boarding school whereas other children need the input from home as well as school to allow them to learn at the level they need to.

Boarding school is often said to improve a child’s behaviour but this is not strictly a fact, and again it often depends on the individual child. If you are considering sending your child to boarding school I would always advise talking it through with the first to see what they think as if they are happy to go then the chances are they will do better than if they are forced to go.

 

 

 

 

Choosing a child’s fist school can be a very hard task, but this is also true of choosing a child’s first nursery setting.

With education taking a massive part in nurseries now, it is essential to get your child in to a good setting to give them the knowledge they need for when they start school. It can be hard to know how to compare one nursery to the next but Ofsted reports can prove vital in these situations.

All nurseries are marked on the same criteria, so you can compare the results accurately. The setting will be marked on certain areas and then given an overall result which would be outstanding, good, notice to improve or inadequate. Many funding programs will not fund a place for a child at a nursery setting that have achieved below good for their last Ofsted inspection.

Ideally you should visit a couple of nurseries to see how you and your child feels about the place before committing to a place.
