1) CoE school, excellent academic ratings, top notch facilities, but very snooty and hideous uniforms. 2) Sports school -- sports distinction, pretty liberal, but has a reputation of 'rough' 3) very small and informal mixed ability school -- very pleasant, but still very new an in experimental stage. 4) Home ed -- in 2 years my DH retires and we'll go traveling long time, DC would need to be deregistered, so maybe start sooner?

You're really considering 4). Really? You can't put your own plans aside for long enough for your DC to take their GCSEs?

Doesn't matter what you choose then for the next two years in that case. It's just a stop gap.

Is your child

Academic?
Sporty?
Happier being a big fish in a small pond?
Hating school and tantruming every morning?

Wouldn't go for 4 purely on the basis of travelling later (really ? won't she be starting GCSE courses then?), is HE something you want to commit to otherwise? What does your dc enjoy ?

You haven't said a thing about what your DD is like.
I would let her choose from that lot.
