In a couple of years my eldest child will be going to a choice of either Abbeydale Grange or Meadowhead schools.

Which of these schools should I choose for my childs education? Abbeydale grange would be accessible on foot while meadowhead would be a 10 min bus ride.

According to teachers that I know, Abbeydale is improving rapidly.

Basically your choice is do you want your kids to go to a multi-cultural school (Abbeydale) or a (nearly) all white school.

I was watching a programme last night on channel 4 . It was set in Manningham near Bradford and dealt with a rather extreme case of a single mother with three hildren faced with having all her children at schools where they were in a minority, indeed they were only 2%of the children in the school.
The son in Primary school had rebelled against this situation and his only mate was of West Indian extraction and was equally hostile to the Asian majority. However the girls in Primary school had absorbed the lessons from the local imam and were looking forward to the next term learning about Islam and following its rules. The lad in contrast was looking forward to starting at a new Secondary school with a more even spread of ethnic groups/ This programme dealt with the problems that children would face in that situation. You do not say what the child's views on the matter are
