Considering sending dd to boarding school in the UK from Australia where we live.
DD is a good all rounder, would be going into sixth form for boarding. She isn't top of her year but definitely near the top, quite arty/musical, not super sporty except in water sports (loves water polo, swimming, sailing, anything water related) and each year competes at at least county level but it isn't a main focus for her. She has been to an all girls day school and hated it so not super keen on all girls but if it was the right fit she might reconsider. She'd quite like to go to a school where girls enter only in sixth form but we're not sure.
As we're overseas we haven't had a chance to visit at any schools but are looking at Marlborough, Canford, Shrewsbury, Caterham, Malvern college, Elham college and possibly Woldingham although dd would probably prefer co-ed. Does anyone have any advice/thoughts on these choices?
Thanks, any ideas would be appreciated!
