Hello, I wonder if any of you kind people could help me navigate the murky waters of secondary school choices.. I have a son in yr5, a boarding chorister, he is musical and academically able. We will apply to selective day schools in London, but want alternative options, as they have become notoriously hard to get into. I've got some on my list:
Day:
Kingston grammar
Hampton
St. John's leatherhead
Reeds
Cranleigh
Boarding:
Kings Canterbury
Lancing
Brighton college
He needs somewhere the music is important. Somewhere he will be stretched but not a massive hothouse.
We won't get a bursary but we would need a scholarship to help with fees.
Personally I can't bear the whole private school thing so would prefer somewhere not too flashy and 4x4 heavy.
;)
Can anyone help me?!
Many many thanks if you've read this far and not wanted to slap me.
