Cambridge independent schools advice

Hello everyone
Can someone help me with my decision?
I am going to move to Cambridge in September, where I'll work in the city centre. I am looking for a good independent school for my 8yo DD, who needs a little extra supervision and small class size.
I've visited St Mary's, Cambridge International School and Sancton Wood, and I must say I was really impressed by Sancton Wood.
It's not the kind of very selective schools, it appears to be very cosy and nurturing. Also it's investing a lot a money to provide more space and resources.
Does anyone have experience with Sancton Wood? Can anyone confirm my impression?

Many Thanks!

Hi angymary!
Sorry this is perhaps a bit late for you, but all I would say is, don't touch Cambridge International School.... See separate discussion about it. It's going down the pan... You might also consider Heritage School in Cambridge, which is a wonderful, small, caring school.
Good luck with whatever you decide for your child.

Hi

I appreciate this is an old thread so trying in case, What school did you end up choosing? Why is the international school not so good?!

Many thanks

I know someone whose boys go to Sancton Wood and they are particularly happy with the nurturing aspect of it. Have you looked at Heritage School as well?
