what does your gut say over co-ed or single sex?

They are a great distance apart,
and completely different. What does your child think about coeducational vs. single sex education? www.londonpreprep.com/rankings/
Not sure if small differences in exam results matter to you, but LU is always ahead of Dulwich in league tables, and perceived as more academic (and harder to get in to). What does your child want?

Dulwich has more sports available as taught, and the best facilities of any school in London (eg used as training grounds for both cricket and rugby when world cups are in town, do any other schools have the double?). National schools champions in several sports in recent years.

They have golf and riding, which is not commonly offered in London (the Foundation owns the land of the golf course and the stables). Plus of course they simply have lots of space

But the big difference when choosing between these two is whether you want single sex or co-ed

Does anyone have any children in these schools?

It takes me the same amount of time to travel to LU and DC. No siblings. Sport is at a high level in both schools.

DC is fantastic, so unless you live very near LU, I’d go for Dulwich. Does your DS have sisters? Live for football?
