Private school for reception

[matter04]

Any feedback on Hendon prep and Goodwyn please? Which one is better? Would you recommend any of the two and why?
Many thanks!

Hi,
Neither - if you're north London - would look at Heathside. Its under new leadership and I'm hearing great things.....
My brothers girl started in reception - its child centered, but academic and they do forest school....kids love it.

Goodwyn has barely any outside space but is excellent academically and I know people that love it. Do you want specifically co-ed? Devonshire house, or Manor lodge or Grimsdell which is part of mill hill if you wanted further out?

@Kathy11 are you staff from Heathside as you’ve posted the exact same thing on 3 posts? There are many parents unhappy with the school and kids have left in droves.

No - My brothers children have joined this year and are very very happy. I'm a HE lecturer and know a little about education (!) I've never seen a school like it. Really child centered and I'm passionate about the difference its making in my family's life.
You should go and see for yourself :)

Devonshire House. My daughter goes there, she loves is. I have never seen anyone not happy or have had a fallout. Leavers from school go to very good schools.
