My DD has announced that she wants to go to boarding school in 6th form. Couple of reasons: wants a change after being at current school since age 5 and also I get the impression that she wants a more challenging environment. I would like some advice on options to consider.
She is currently at a lovely independent girls school which gets good results but hasn't got the academic rigour of some other schools. So whilst DD is always top of the class, not sure how bright she really is.
She likes look of CLC and Rugby. Not sure how easy it is to get into one of famous names (but name is part of appeal for her). She wants a school where majority board. I think she would struggle to settle if only handful of new boarders join in 6 form or if majority of new intake were bright Chinese kids. We want a school ideally in Midlands or South of England.
She will be 14 this academic year so we have a bit of time to plan and save.
