Hi, we seem to have a choice between comprehensive mixed and girls school. Academic results of girls at these 2 schools are comparable - both are very good schools. Reputation-wise the girls school seems to get more praise... I'm a bit biased against single sex schools - but my DD seems to be very open to the idea, and has a slight preference for the single sex one, although that's only because one of her best friends will definitely go there.

What school would you choose and why - trying to put pros and cons on paper for both schools. We need to decide the order in which to list these schools on the application form.

Many thanks.

I attended both types a long time back. Personally I preferred it at the single sex school but if I pit my actual reasons here on mn I fear I'd be slated!!
