After seeing the offer day cut offs for Highbury Fields which was always a safe bet for us I am a little concerned. We were just outside the cut off for Sept 2020 entry and DD starts secondary next year whereas previous years we were in cut off, the school isn't our first choice but always seems a good school.
Any feedback on Highbury Fields (I would assume a high waiting list place), Hornsey School for Girls, Islington Arts and Media School and Acland Burghley would be appreciated.
I visited all these schools last autumn, DD hasn't seen them all.
A place at Acland Burghley is unlikely but we need to look at order of preference. I quite liked the school and head but wasn't 100% sure if it's right for her. DD isn't overly girly nor a tomboy (hate that word but can't think of a better one). She is smart and can do very well but home learning over lockdown showed she does so much better in the classroom but needs the right teachers to give her a gentle push to teach her potential.
