SHHS or ASL?

DD1 who is 7 has offers at both. We are not British but will likely stay here long term. Which school offers a stronger sibling policy, and sen support (if needed, mild)? We would have a bias for DD1 and DD2 to go to college in the US, but not necessary of course. Commute is easy to both schools.

ASL has much better facilities and a strong ex pat American community, many events etc in non Covid times. SHHS is very ‘academic’ but also pressured and pushy so would not fit all girls.

Thanks @BuffyFanForever
How would you compare the exit to US universities for the two schools? Many thanks for your help.

I have some experience of this. Both are great schools but very different. Depends what you are looking for. ASL have been excellent with our daughter who has some mild additional needs.

Just curious if there is a follow up on this thread? We may be in a similar situation and would love to hear how things played out from the OP @NutritionMummy .

@snapjack543 We went for SHHS, and it has been wonderful! I’m sure ASL would have been as well, but we have found that the pastoral care at SHHS is second to none. We liked that is was a smaller school and the music provision was outstanding.
