Hi. We are a British family living overseas at the moment. My daughter has just had an assessment for this school and liked it, there is some family history there and also it is really handy for Grandparents who live close by.

I do understand that a lot of kids go home on Saturdays for about 24 hours.

Does anyone know anyone there, or recently left? I know they have a new head just started. I met him at the assessment and he seemed really nice.

My daughter is very capable academically and to be honest a bit of a perfectionist. She is not into traditional sports ( well, never done them as at an International school... They do volleyball, crossfit and soccer).

My main concerns are that she puts a lot of pressure on herself already. I would live her to be in a thriving busy enquiring environment but not too much pressure.

I find the 'public' school system a bit confusing as I am from a computer background but my husband was in this system, he is really keen for us to do this for our kids too if we can. DD really wants to go, she is excited to leave her little tiny school!

I guess this is then wrong forum for this. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good forum where parents and kids from private schools air their views on different schools. I can't believe one does not exist!

I have gone through old threads and found a mixture. DD has her heart set on it. We also have her down for Marlborough and Bradfield. I also really liked the sound of Canford.

We have gone for ones that would work well logistically really.
