Rowan Prep or Surbiton High?

[rushrushrush]

Does anyone have knowledge about either of the above schools? My dd has applied to both for Year 3 starting in September 2011. She's been accepted at Rowan, which we loved but we are also keen on Surbiton and she's sitting the entrance exam in January and apparently she stands a very strong chance of getting a place. We were set on Surbiton until we looked at Rowan so are now unsure about which might suit her better. She's a bright girl and very sociable so I think she'd be fine in either but am interested if anyone has any insights into either school. Thank you!

Is that Rowans on Drax Ave?

No, it's on Fitzalan Road in Claygate...

Sorry don't know that one.
SH is regarded as academic- also Christian of course, if that makes a difference to you.
Search SH on old threads- there have been a few over the year.

What do you want to do for secondary that is one main advantage of Surbiton High. I would go for the school that your child will fit into most and consider how local you are to the school for friendships etc... Both schools good so you can't go wrong.
