I am making a list of schools to apply for 4+ entry for my dd. I have not read much reviews about Queens Gate school for 4+. Can someone give me a feedback on Queens Gate school. I am yet to visit the school.

Also which are some of the other schools I should be applying for? Preferred location is Central and North London.

The school is nice, friendly and nurturing. I have a couple of friends with kids there. It is not pushy, and I am not sure that the brightest girls get stretched enough. Girls can stay on until 18, so no need to take 11+.

If you DD is "academic", I'd also visit Glendower, which is right across the street from QG. And Falkner House - a short walk away.

Know several happy parents of young ones at both. I'm sure I've missed some other schools, including good state primaries .....
