Having just got my DS into Whitgift for Sept, I now turn to my DD who is completely different child, apart from the obvious boy/girl thing!
She is in Yr4 so we have some time, but with 10+ options maybe not.
She is creative, does well-ish at school, but its hard work getting her to sit down to homework, she would rather draw/cartwheel/play piano. She is quite sensitive to what girls at school say to her, less so with the boys, as such I'm leaning towards co-ed. But she might grow out of it/toughen up, so don't want to limit our options too early. She's at small co-ed prep, with DS. Am also worried about how she'd do at entrance exams, her spelling is dreadful, great at learning for spelling tests, but its gone the next week.
Here's my current list and thoughts - tell me if I'm way off and have I missed anywhere!
Co-ed
Emanuel - worth a try as close to us, but not sure how she'd do
Alleyns - not bright enough
Ibstock - I didn't like when I looked around few years ago - maybe should give it another go?
Girls only
JAGS/Putney/Wimbledon - are there any non-genius' there? do we even bother?
Streatham & Clapham - looking round tomorrow, heard its a bit easier than others
Old Palace - don't know much about this one
Have I missed anywhere? thank you
