Hi,
We live in Marylebone and are considering the above schools for entry in 2015 when our son will be 5 years old.
We've had the parental interviews at Arnold House (AH) and the Hall, and are more confused than ever. The Hall had seemed like a hothouse, but at interview, we warmed to the new head (Mr Godwin), and our interview with AH seemed rather cursory and more about showcasing the head's view of the world. We haven't been to Hill House for a couple of years and remember loving it, but are worried about the commute.
Our son (currently 3 years 3 months) is doing well at his current Montessori - can read 4 letter words, all through his own effort, loves puzzles, is showing an interest in maths. Enjoys sport - tennis, swimming, football. Is also sensitive, and shy at the start, but a chatterbox after the first 5-10 mins. We don't believe in pushing him as we'd rather he learnt and achieved for the joy of it.
So, if there are any Mumsnetters with experience of these schools - whether good or bad - or advice, I'd be very grateful. Also, if anyone has kids in Hill House at present, or if there are any Marylebone mums with kids in any of these schools, I would love to chat and find out about your experience. I'm also trying to find out the school bus route from, say near Baker Street tube to Hill House, and any guidance there would be great.
Thanks, so confused right now!
