    I know a man who trained at vocational school from age 11. He did get a place in a major foreign company but was disgusted by the lifestyle that it seemed to revolve around. (Drugs etc). He left dance and is now a priest.

    Go and read all their Inspection report feedback. It should be accessible from their websites. One did have a bad one saying how emotionally harsh and critical it was and as a result they are supposed to have put lots of mindfulness etc in place. It could be that it’s excellent now - I’m not knocking it as a school on that in itself. If they’ve had follow up reports done - go back to before and see why. At the very least it will give you an idea of what to look for at all the places. Things you might not have thought of. But again one person will say their child thrived under the competitive atmosphere of a place and another will say their child was crushed by the teacher’s comments and the (seemingly) overly confident other pupils. Yes it’s a minefield!

    Asking the right questions is one thing, but honestly no school is going to say “The boarding staff won’t answer their phones or let you know if your child’s ill. We leave bullies alone unless it becomes an inconvenience for staff and we prefer the kids who are a laugh and not the homesick ones.” I mean they aren’t are they? If they can’t give the “right” answers they wouldn’t have their jobs. So I guess what I’m saying is *do* listen to the people who private message you - but that will probably mean you want to rule out all the schools!
