Hi
I'm wondering whether my daughter should try for Wallington Girls, or whether she would be better off at one of our local comprehensives. We live outside the borough so it would be an East Surrey comp. She just finished Y3. In the Y2 SATS she got levels 3s for Reading, Maths, Speaking and listening and 2a for Writing. Her Y3 teacher said she had gone up 2 sublevels this year, so if she continues making that sort of progress she might get 5b for writing and 5a for the others (if I have understood correctly.) I went to WG myself in the 80s and enjoyed it there, but I'm wondering if it is a lot more academic these days and she may be better off as one of the brighter ones in a good comp, than one of the less bright ones at WG? I heard of someone whose daughter goes there who is stressed because everyone gets A*s. It wasn't like that when I was there!
Would be grateful for any feedback. Thanks
