Boarding school - close to London - boy or co-ed

Hello,

Any suggestion for boarding schools for DS currently in year 5.
Has to be max 1h30 away from London with possibility to go home on weekends. Weekly boarding perfect. Boys only or co-ed. Sailing possibility is a +.

Looking for more ideas as my list is a bit short (wellington, tonbridge, Bradfield, Abingdon).

Thanks!!

First three I thought of are already on your list. For a broader academic spread look at Charterhouse and Frensham Heights.

Does he sail at the moment? Is 11+ vs 13+ a factor?

Should if added for 11+ or 13+

Any preference which side on London. Could take that to get round M25
Hurst? DB look at it and liked it. Are you after big name, top academics, back up school?
Reeds in CobHam?
For sailing Royal Hospital school.
Don't know if Ardingly use the lake at all !
