Roedean vs CLC

Hello, I'm currently looking at schools for my DD to join. she is very bright, big on sports and enjoys a bit of drama and we would prefer an all-girls school. I have visited both schools and honestly, I am torn between the two. My DD also loves both but slightly favours Roedean however she is extremely indecisive so she still hasn't decided. I am also aware that Roedean had a bit of an issue a few years back but I've heard it is back to the Roedean it used to be. My DH, however, is not a fan of CLC as he says it has a slight 'chavvy' side to it. At least that is what his sister has told him who went there. Is this true? I also have a DS who goes to Eton college, so my husband would like our DD to go to a school of that sort. We have also looked at WA however we were not fans and the same goes for DH. If anyone has DD's that have gone to either of these schools or knows about them please let me know what they are like.

It is a lovely school but didn't stand out to us as much.

I would have thought Downe House might suit.

Downe House has a massive Eton sibling overlap and sounds perfect for your DD.
