We are approaching 8+ next year for my son and debating between the above schools. The end goal is for a boarding school at 13 like Eton/Winchester etc.
Currently have the below opinions - any help appreciated
- Lambrook - it is the only co ed school I have warmed to. But not sure if I am being wowed by the facilities and not the academics. Also keep hearing negative reviews about the parents?!
- Papplewick - the school is non selective at entry which would mean less stress. The school also seems to have a great academic record but not sure if they just focus on the high achievers?
- Summerfield - My main hesitation would be the fact my son would need to weekly board straight away (unlike the other 2 where he could start off taking the bus back to London). Not sure if the entry would be far too difficult and how many boys apply. Could Papplewick do the same job academically?
- Kings College Wimbledon - should I scrap the idea of the above schools and boarding at 13 as KCW is just amazing?
