Limited knowledge here, but I know a little about the schools. I have looked around Falcons and liked it and know children who have been to Rowan.
Falcons pre prep is in quite a small building, so my initial reaction was that perhaps that wouldn't be great for a real live wire? Rowan certainly has a lot more outside space. Definitely worth considering when you go and look round them both.
The type of school you are ultimately aiming for might influence your choice, have a good look at their leavers destinations.
Because all the children at Rowan leave at 7, they might be better prepared for the 7+ than those at Falcons, as I'd imagine they have an interest in the children carrying on to the Falcons Prep Department. Without seeing leavers lists for both schools, it's impossible to know. You need to get that information. Equally I'd visit Falcons prep as well as pre prep as if you really liked that it might sway you more towards the pre prep.
Hope that helps a bit?
