I wasn't sure when we first went round, as they operate in open classroom / teaching areas and the classes are joint grades. I wouldn't think to move them now as they are really settled - which is one of the biggest hurdles when moving to a new country. Mr Geddes is out and about and knows all the children by name. He believed strongly that the school should be a 'community school' which I support. They went to a village school in the uk which had a real community feel - hopefully as the school develops the community aspect will too.
As I mentioned before there are a lot of good schools in and around Berwick. We went for the Chase as it was in walking distance, which was important as we only have one car at the mo, and also we had a few work issues with my OH job when we first came out so I didn't want to commit to sending all 3 to a fee paying school until everything was sorted.
It's just a case of research and more research...
hope this helps,
Shelley
