Hello,
I have been avidly reading threads on this site and found everyones comments very helpful.
We are looking for an independent school for our 7 year old daughter next year entering prep. She loves ponies, art, music and is generally very creative. She seems to enjoy and cope with the academics but really her passion is seems to be in the arts. She is not especially sporty but does enjoy riding.
We have been to see Knighton House and loved it. We are considering all our options so also viewing Castle Court and Sunninghill Prep School.
I have read the other threads about Castle Court, some of which are quite out of date. I wondered if anyone had any recent experience of Forms 2/3/4 and what their thoughts are? I hear there is a new head at Castle Court, is he liked? We are viewing Castle Court this week.
I have heard Sunninghill is a very friendly school but the headmaster is growing the school 'too quickly' and it has been causing some dissatisfaction with long term families leaving? I have been told it is in a period of aggressive recruitment and main focus is on bringing the numbers in. Does anyone know whether this is the case? No plans to view Sunninghill yet but prob will as to do our diligence.
Knighton House seemed so lovely, sounds like they get the results whilst keeping them as children for as long as possible. I am not wild on Saturday school however.
I guess we will find out this week but does Castle Court or Sunninghill have Saturday school?
Has anyone experienced two of the schools and can compare or any of the schools. I feel like the longer we look the harder it becomes.
Many thanks in advance!
