My DD is 9 but exceptionally mature for her age and increasingly ambitious. She has been telling me she wants to go to an all-girls school that pushes her hard but where the lessons are interesting.
She's:
Reasonably sporty; good at netball, hockey and rounders,
Highly musical; plays the piano, flute and is in the chamber choir.
Loves acting and art.
Good at everything, academically, but is currently showing a particular interest in learning languages; currently Spanish, French and Chinese.
She increasingly finds girls of her age a bit too silly but I'm wondering if she just needs to be in a pool of children who're brighter.
I just don't know how pushy Wycombe Abbey is and what sort of characters flourish there and whether Woldingham (which is on our doorstep) would push her enough. Benenden worries me because it's in the middle of nowhere and I like the idea that my child would stay grounded by being in a town and around 'average' people! Any advice very much appreciated.
