Stephen Perse Sixth Form vs Dulwich

I left to HK so my child has lived in HK for all his life and now we're thinking of sending him back to the UK for boarding school because we dont not currently have anyone the boy can stay with. I have come upon two schools- Dulwich College and Stephen Perse, however, I do not know which is better. Some people say that Dulwich College is better because it is more prominent and well known, however, the academics are higher in Stephen Perse. Can anyone help us decide? Thank you.

I don't think Stephen Perse has any boarding.

Stephen Perse is predominantly still a girl's school although they have started taking boys. Also if the child is under 16 they will not take international pupils unless one parent is living nearby according to their website.

Have you looked at Peter Symonds in Winchester? Excellent academics, boarding, and a first choice for many families living outside UK. Priority given to UK/Eu nationals but some places for others. Academically on a par with Dulwich.
