We are thinking about boarding school for our DD at sixth form. She is in an academic day school at the moment and particularly loves drama and music. We thought a boys school that admits girls at 6th form may make life easier socially at the beginning.
We'd wondered about Westminster, Charterhouse or maybe Shrewsbury or I'm sure many others I've missed??
We've heard that some schools empty from Sat pm-Sun night as kids go home, we live in Yorkshire and could easily travel to London or further for shows/exeats etc but every Sat/ Sun to Godalming etc may get annoying!
Any advice welcome on an academic school with good drama.
Thanks :)

I'm bumping this sad neglected post Grin as I'm now looking for DD2, DD1 stayed at her day school for sixth form in the end and is very happy.
DD2 is in a friendship group full of endless drama, so hoping to get her away from all that!
So...any recommendations for mixed sixth form, good drama with a arge intake of girls?
