My son was at the Pre-Prep of his school and we felt that he was not ready to take the 7+ exam for entry into the super competitive schools.  We did not put him through it and he went on to the Prep school where he is very happy.  I have certainly never felt that he was "no longer wanted" by the school (and he is most definitely not the test taking type!). So no, he does not have a statement but he is not a high-flyer either.

There are a number of children with statements at his school and they seem to be incredibly well supported, with a dedicated member of staff supporting them as much as possible.  The relationships they appear to have with those members of staff is a pleasure to see.

I am very sorry you have had a bad experience, and I can see why you have been put off. I just thought it was a little unfair to tar all private schools with the same brush.  I am glad your son is happy and thriving in his new school.
