Sharing what I've found useful. Standard questions get standard answers. These three got me much more honest responses…

Everyone asks about co-curricular. No-one asks the three that predict whether a school will fit your child. Compiling a list.

Open days feel a bit like a show. Schools that offer private tours afterwards — is it worth taking up, or does it just confirm what you already saw?

Went in dead set on single-sex. Came out genuinely unsure after visiting two co-eds. Anyone else have a similar wobble?

We have three taster invitations and two overlapping open days. Which sit of each actually changes a decision?
