Colet Court -- exit to schools other than St Paul's?

[posadas]

We are starting to think about next schools for our son. We like Colet Court (lots of outdoor space, great art and sports facilities, etc). The school says it expects "St Paul's to be the first choice for secondary school". We haven't even begun to think about secondary schools and have no idea what will be the right choice for our son 7 years from now. St Paul's seems like a great secondary school so I'm sure it will be among our choices but, depending on how our son develops, we might want to consider other possibilities. I would be very interested to hear from anyone who has either direct experience or knows of other people's experience at Colet Court -- particularly with regard to exit to schools other than St Paul's (ie do any boys in fact leave to go to boarding schools at 13? if so, do they have to do extra work to prepare for Common Entrance? Are they ostracised at Colet Court if it becomes known they are considering a different secondary school?). I'd also be interested in any general comments about the school. I know it's very competitive but wonder whether boys, in general, are happy there and whether the standard of teaching is as inspirational as it seems to be judging from the prospectus and a school tour. Would be very grateful for any comments! Thanks!
