DHs job is moving to England in the next few years so I'm looking for a boarding school for DD, starting sixth form/S5 in 2019 hopefully! Our family are mainly in the central belt but I think from most places in Scotland DD could take public transport home for exeats etc? I don't have much experience in boarding at all but sixth form seems a good point to board imo.
DD is mainly academic, predicted mostly As and a few Bs. We don't have a preference for highers or A levels really, we have experience of both systems. She is also musical, plays violin and sings, loves drama too! Not especially sporty, but will give it a go and doesn't mind playing, just not first team level in typical hockey, lacrosse etc.
We have visits lined up for some schools, but inside information or recommendations are really helpful!
Fettes and Loretto are ruled out on DDs behalf, and she isn't sure about all girls so guidance on that would also be really appreciated! Thank you so much for any help! :)
