Hello. I have a son at a private in SW London and looking at moving him to a state 6th form in the area. (due to budget downsizing) I am looking for a state comprehensive 6th form that has some "reasonable" academic records (capable of sending some to Oxbridge level). Excluding grammars, I found these two seem quite okay in terms of test results although I must say gap btw grammars(and academic privates) and these seem still huge. (I realize there is very little middle grounds in English school system....)
Could anyone please share hands-on experiences/views on them? Esher seems to be very big so self-motivation might be extremely important and Hichley wood has very impressive A level result last year with about 35% A*/A.
Also, almost all of his current GCSE courses are Edexcel iGCSE. Doing A levels from different boards are not big problems?
Thank you very much in advance for any inputs!
