We are not happy with DDs school, and recently looked round Bromley High. We were very impressed with the junior school, we are looking at 7+ entry for 2016. However in moving her to Bromley High for juniors, we obviously need to consider whether she will go onto the secondary school.
Is there any feedback on how the secondary school compares to the Juniors in terms of the education it provides and its reputation? On the open day I came away with lots of positives from the Juniors, and it maybe because the junior question is uppermost in my mind but I wasn't sure how much more the secondary school offered over and above say a good grammar school. The uniform seemed a bit scruffy (some skirts were eye wateringly short, lots of different style of coats etc ), and I just got an impression that some of the senior teachers were a bit complacent. Nothing I can put my finger on, so would be grateful if anyone can offer any more concrete knowledge. Having got our last school choice wrong, i am keen for her to stay until 16/18 if possible and if we are satisfied that it is worth paying for.
My other question is around competition for Places at 7+, does anyone know roughly how many girls apply for the 8 places on offer? While we have been told DD is bright, not sure of her chances of getting in!
Thank you
