Hey Pandora.
I couldn't figure out who you were and you were really doing my head in, but now i know who you are! I was even considering posting in the Messages Forum asking who you were

Anyways, nothing to be afraid of. My DS goes to an independent school too. We had the same. It is just a process they have to go through. Will your DS have to sit a test? Mine did. Quite basic stuff really.

Muppity has given some great ideas on what to ask. I also asked about gifted policies and what they do with kids such as these, if there was a PTA.

teacher retention is a good question. Ask directly about it. There is no need to be shy about questions which will influence your childs learning.
