Godolphin vs SPGS

Hello, DD was lucky enough to get offers from both schools and I’m finding it hard to decide between them. She is very sporty so based on hearsay and reading the threads here it feels like Godolphin would be the sportier of the 2 schools. However, am also finding it hard to say no to SPGS. Any thoughts please on how to choose? Anyone turned down SPGS for G&L and willing to share their experience? Thanks so much.

Two great offers, well done to your DD! Let's be serious, you are not going to turn down SPGS because G&L is "sportier". Accept the SPGS offer graciously and move on.

Congrats on the offers. SPGS does plenty of sports. Is there a particular sport that she is very focused on? Maybe one school is much better at that sport? The other thing I'd say is, when people say kids are very sporty, all the schools play a lot of sports. Is she going to be a professional athlete? My DD is extremely sporty, but I could never see picking a senior school based on sports. Not to mention that many serious athletes do their sport separate from schools anyway.
