My DS is starting at a Catholic primary school next year.

We are sending him based on a number of things. 1) The quality of the education at the school is excellent 2) The school is reasonably small and we think DS will adjust better to a smaller school (about 400 students rather than 900 at the other schools in the area) 3) My DH is Catholic and wants DS to learn about the religion. I can't help as I am a non-believer.

If there was a comparable state school in the area, I would have looked at both as options but unfortunately we are limited for choice due to school boundaries.
