One of the most important decisions you will make regarding your child's future is finding the right school to continue their study at. As a result, primary schools can be difficult to find. There must be a school near your home, but is it right for your child?

Did they consider all of your criteria for sending your child there, and will your child leave ready for the demands of secondary education? When you start looking for a school for your child, one of the biggest factors is the quality of education.

The next thing to consider when you search for primary schools around you is the location. Closest is not necessarily best, even though it may be the most convenient for you! Remember, when you search primary schools near to your house, you are doing so for your child's benefit, not your own.

You now need to consider the criteria by which your child will be accepted into the local primary schools. It is no good having done all your research that you decide upon a school that is out of reach because of location or faith. So, check with the local schools when you are searching what their entrance criteria are.

Remember to search primary schools which are realistic to your child's criteria, not just the one you think would be best.
