I went to the Surbiton High open day today. I was impressed with the acting principal's talk, and the show around by the girls.
But, there were a couple of things that I wasn't sold on. I realise these are all complete first world problems.
Firstly, the lack of swimming pool- this seems unusual for private secondary schools in the area. Secondly, the fact the girls have to go by coach to get to sports facilities- again, unusual? I didn't get a straight answer about exactly which sports the girls do in year 7 and how much.
Also, is a new head lined up? Any info on this?
Others that we are looking at are:
LEH, Emanuel, Jags, Alleyns, St Paul's Girls School.
We might also look at Kingston Grammar, Streatham and Clapham and possibly a couple of others.
Does anyone have any views on the above? DD is pretty academic, very sporty with a big interest in a sport that she competes in already. She also loves drama/dance etc, but doesn't play a musical instrument and doesn't really have any interest in that. So basically an all rounder but particularly sporty.
She's not due to start til sept 2020 so a while to decide but would love some feedback. Thanks!
