Our DS is now 9 and at a London prep. His teacher suggested Westminster as one of his options for 13. This is also my husband’s old school- he had a great time there and so we’ve been feeling very positive about the idea.
However, I mentioned it to a friend who has put me off a bit. She says it’s full of oligarch’s kids and very few relatively normal families (obviously you’d expect rich parents at a fee paying school, but not necessarily super-rich).
DH says this wasn’t the case in his day- of course you had to be able to afford the fees but there was a mix, from the extremely wealthy to City lawyers and accountants to actors and academics... not just oligarchs and bankers.
I wondered whether anyone could offer a view? Particularly keen to hear from current parents.
