Can anyone tell me - my sil is looking at the above schools - her ds is in year 5 - been tutored for the last 6 months. Top within his primary for maths and science, goodish at english. Is musical but not particularly sporty. Also looking at whitgift but would be looking for some type of scholarship.

What particularly do you want to know? Don't know anything about the public schools (Whitgift or Trinity) although there was a long thread at the beginning of this year that you could search for. However, DS passed all three 11+ exams he took for SGS, Wilson's and Wallington and has a place at one of them so ask away....

Think all the grammar schools are sporty as well as academic. We have had to rate our son's sportiness for his school!

If he is musical, have they considered Trinity? Whitgift of course is also excellent with music. They say Wilson's is very academic, very hard to get a place.
