This has been an unusual year with 11+.. we haven’t been able to visit open days for a few schools. My son has been lucky to get offers. He has an offer from City of London Boys and we hope to get the super selective grammar next week which from a distance preceptive is very close to us. Both schools seem to be academic school but we are trying to decide since independent school has networking/cohort as a big plus. My question is - is networking important at Y7-Y12? What are advantages of choosing an academic independent school vs grammar keeping fees & class size aside? We haven’t been able to go for open days for independent school so in a fix. Any feedback /personal experience on the independent school will be much appreciated.
