Tip:

It is a nice vision to try to visit each school during a normal school day so that you can get a better sense of what it is really like instead of the marketing spin on a heavily orchestrated Open Day. The best time to visit is during break time. Look for attentive faces in class, positive teacher/ non-teaching staff and pupil interaction, happy faces in the corridors, good manners and greetings from the pupils and whatever makes you feel peaceful by these simple idea selecting appropriate school turns out to peace of cake!
