Usually the obvious choice is the nearest school to where you live for most parents. The logic is correct but sometimes the nearest isn't the best and might cost the future of a suppossedly bright student.
There is no one school fits all. Each child has differents needs therefore you must know what the students needs best, is it sports, academics, clubbing or a balanced mixture. The fees and costs are also a major factor to consider.
Whether to send your child to a Boarding Primary School or Day Primary School is up to you. For a child who misbehaves more often or whose parents are not always around Boarding school might be best.
