DS has been fortunate to receive offers from several excellent schools, and we’d be happy with any of them. He’s currently in a co-ed setting, so we’d hoped to continue that way, but he seems to prefer King’s or St Paul’s. We’re also unsure about Westminster given the smaller campus and the 13+ entry point vs others being 11+.
We live in Wandsworth/Clapham, so none is especially close, and we’d likely rely on school transport or possibly move in future.

Any perspectives from this forum on how to think through this decision would be much appreciated.

SPS for sure. Unless you’ve got a younger daughter in which case probably Alleyns.

I’d definitely go to one you can reach relatively easily on public transport!
