Anyone have any info on this school? I know it's very hard to get a place, but that's about it! Would be grateful for any thoughts

anyone? any thoughts?

It has very strong leadership and the girls who go there do well given their very varied backgrounds and economic circumstances. What are your choices?

I'm not entirely sure yet, but was just interested to find out a bit more than you can from an open day about what the school is like. It all looks great, the results are good, OFSTED report is excellent - but I'd love to know more from anyone who actually knows the school or knows girls who go there.

My DD attends GCH and absolutely loves it, is thriving there and has made great new friends. I'm really impressed with the school and how well she has settled in, as this is her first year. Every day DD can't wait to tell me all about her day at school. The staff have high expectations from their pupils in all areas and DD relishes this, works really hard, is diligent, conscientious and has lots of fun too. DD also loves fully participating in wide and varied extracurricular, particularly the numerous singing, music and drama provisions. Long may her enthusiasm last as it has given me great peace of mind.

You need to be aware that the number of places awarded outside the church attendance criterion is tiny.

Thank you - that's just what I needed to know!

I guess the statistics for this year's admissions will be available fairly soon, but when last I heard, the last place awarded on the basis of distance that year had been at something like 300 metres.

Thanks - I did know how hard it is to get in but was interested to know whether it lived up to the hype if you're lucky enough to get a place!
