Does anyone have any recent experience of either schools - any pros or cons? Thanks in advance.

Stover have an Open Morning on the 24th Feb which may be helpful? Any aspects in particular? My 2 ds go there and love it.

Thanks @2toplads. We were originally looking in cornwall but have expanded to Devon. I know about Mount Kelly and Blundell's but don't know much about these two. I am interested to know what the atmosphere is like at each of these schools, what the parent body is like/what sorts of families choose these schools/what the children are like and what the reputation of the school is locally. How would you describe them in only one sentence? That sort of thing... Definitely not interested in Exeter as don't want a city school. Thanks

Hi @CharlotteC77 , just wondering if you made your decision and had any feedback on Stover? I am considering it at the moment.

I have two children at Stover Prep currently. We really like it. It’s a fantastic campus and a genuinely friendly, caring school. Small class sizes, lots of time outdoors, research based learning. In our experience so far the small classes have meant learning can be tailored to differing needs whether stretching a brighter child or helping another child along. My children are really happy there.
