Also, I would want to know if overall, is St. Paul's Girls' School or Wycombe Abbey better?

For me, I think Wucombe Abbey tends to get more US university destinations offers...so ya...

@foxesandsquirrels,

I do know that Downe House is relatively poorer in an academic perspective of view. However, I cannot secure ANY places now, as we are still deciding which schools to enroll in. Of course, getting in the best schools are rewarding and simply pure amazing, but that is not her aim of life! If you're good, you'll do great in every environment! (But of course the best ones have better atmospheres. )

@TH22

Thank you, thank you! You have given me the basic idea.

It would just be a miracle for my girl to study in Wycombe Abbey!

@CatsAreAliens,

A note of gratitude for information. Yes, I do know Westminster only takes girls in sixth form. Thanks for reminding!

Bless you all!

@Learnforlife

Thanks for all the messages.

I'm just looking into future years, and most likely, she would be going earlier than in sixth form.

Westminster only takes girls in the sixth form? Both Westminster and Wycombe Abbey are very very academic

How academic is she? Unless she is the absolute top of the top, I would discount Wycombe Abbey because they only take the best and entrance will be difficult.
If she's mid to high, then Westminster. If she's not, then DH.

For sixth form? They're very different schools. Why not post a bit more about what you are looking for?

Gosh DH is in the middle of nowhere compared to the other two, also less academic.

Are you talking about 6th form and does your dd have the offers or are you looking for future years?
