Hampton or Trinity

So DS2 passed both at 10plus. We are half way between both so journey is the same to both for us. DS1 is at Trinity and it's the right school for him as he's very musical. He joined at 11 so I wasn't as stressed about the journey as I am about DS2 doing it at 10!
DS2 is very sporty but not into rugby. We really like Hampton but litterally don't know anyone there.
Are there any parents coming from Wimbledon area who could tell me about the journey for their boys. We had the taster day yesterday and a lot of the boys seem to already know each other from preps.
Would love to hear other parents experiences.
Thanks

If you managed the traffic yesterday around Hampton you will have a good idea about how variable the journey can be! The 10 plus is popular with some preps as a practice, whilst many parents will pay the deposit it doesn't mean they will all take up the places in 2021. I think at the year 7 entry point they take ds from 40-50 schools.
