My DD unexpectedly aced her Kent grammar test. "Unexpectedly" not because she isn't very bright, but because we didn't do the hours and hours of work etc. over the last six months which I thought would be required. TOGs looks great and very impressed with the facilities etc and IB would suit her. But is it really worth it travelling an hour there and back every day? The comprehensive we should be in catchment for is also outstanding but their progress 8 score for high attainers isn't great. No idea what to put first on the form due in 11 days. I would be so grateful for any feedback from parents with girls at TOGS who travel from quite a distance. Does she still manage to do clubs at school e.g. over lunch? (there seem to be lots put on at lunch time which is great) How does she cope with the journey and doing clubs more locally after school/homework? Is the school as amazing as it looks? What about friendships if girls are not local? Is there a type of girl who would be happy at TOGs?
