The really great thing about Stratford are the vertical relationships, all the years talk to eachother and are friends. There isn´t the usual bullying of the younger years associated with larger schools. I think that´s the net effect of being in a smaller environment, it doesn´t create a defensive stance amongst students. They are comfortable and confident in themselves and this transfers to how they treat each other.

My daughter attends Stratford College in Rathgar. It´s a co-ed, multi-demominational school. The class sizes are small and the teachers are excellent, many of them are State examiners so I´m always sure that she knows exactly what to expect from her state exams. She has really excelled since joining this really creative place.

You will probably hear mixed reviews about all schools, depending on who you happen to speak to. Convenience is also something you have to consider as commuting can be a difficulty. There is also the issue of friendships etc.
