Choosing a secondary school for your children is a big decision. We all know that a solid secondary education is vital in ensuring that children obtain the necessary academic grades which will enable them to progress into their chosen careers, but also to equip them with the life and social skills that adult life requires. With so many schools to choose from, making a final decision on what school to send your children to can be painstakingly difficult. Here are a few ideas…
Great Baddow High School, Chelmsford
Many children are talented in sport and it is wise to encourage this gift by sending them to a school that can maximise their sporting potential. Great Baddow is one of the most reputable specialist sports colleges in the UK, and is a centre of excellence for the region. Its quality sports facilities include an indoor swimming pool and a newly constructed dance studio.
