We think, and have been advised, that St Swithun's would be a good option for our daughter. She is Year 4 at moment and we will be living down that way by then. London at moment. Like fact she can be a day girl for a bit before boarding. We need a back-up school in area, that would have lower entry requirement. Could be full boarding but would prefer her to go from day to boarding, at 13 say, at same school. Current school recommended Downe House or Tudor Hall which i think are full boarding. Any thoughts? She is in top third of class academically at moment and very very sporty. Going forward have terror of blonde bitchy girls who are only interested in boys and make-up, but i guess you find them everywhere! She is a very friendly and straightforward girl. Co-ed would work for her too i think. Bradfield? Her brother starting at Radley at same time, if Common Entrance goe to plan! I think Bradfield will be his back up. At moment no fixed plans about where to live but no more than an hour or so from Oxford. Would prefer Winchester way due to proximity to friends/family.
Any thoughts much appreciated.
