Hi, just wondering if anyone can help me select London prep schools to apply for for 8+ exams in January? We have twin sons and are considering Wetherby Prep, Sussex House, Garden House, Hill House (a lot of "houses"...) and the Harrodian. The boys differ in their abilities which makes it a bit tricky, we tried for 7+ last year and one got into Latymer and Highgate and the other didn't get in to either. We don't want to split them up, not least because we currently live in Dubai and will only make the move back if we get them both into a school that's worth making the move back for. Another problem, logistically, is that I don't want to take them out of school for too long in January and, e.g. the Harrodian exam is 9th January and Sussex House is 19th/20th, which is probably too long to be away for (in which case we'll probably go for the Harrodian as there's more chance of getting them both in, I think). I've not viewed Sussex House and Garden House and only my husband's viewed Wetherby, I'll probably be able to see Garden House shortly but not the other two so will have to decide based on the literature. So...if anyone has experience of them and can offer an insight I'd be grateful! The boys like a mixture of sport, music and art but have got quite into music of late so I'm keen on a musical school. Oh, and one of them has Perthes disease so isn't very mobile although he's having surgery soon so hopefully he'll be walking again by next September...!
