Congratulations that your daughter has a very good offer. It is a very supportive example for people who are studying or going to study in Harts (including myself), as many parents are concerned with it being a new school without any track record. Your case is a very good example that the kid's performance at interview is the most important factor (which is established by the teachers' training in your case) and not the school's name.
I truly think that Harts is a very good school and trust that Piccolo will also be the same.
Thank you!! Yes, exactly children preformance is the most important thing in interview! Not the school name, not the school report (because the school report for my girl in k2 is terrible) and also not the age (because my girl is a small girl, born in the middle of oct)
More, harts has also arranged an interview class for those k3 student everyday after school from Sep to Dec, It is good and It will target on your applied primary school and help you to get prepare for the interview! Of course, it is fee of charges!
Yes, I know as HKPS and perhaps Pods are doing that. I know no other schools are doing that except LH. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Conclusion: Take Piccolo / Harts over York.
