Does anyone have any knowledge/experience of RGS in Guildford and Churchers College in Petersfield.

How do they compare?
How difficult is it to get into RGS compared to Churcher's ?
What are the advantages/disadvantages of the two schools.

Any tips would be most appreciated. Thanks.

I know lots of people who went to RGS. Very high standards there and pupils and parents I know seem very happy with it.

Waaaaaaay easier to get into Churchers - it speaks to a different type of applicant. Everyone knows that RGS is for the creme de la creme. Churchers is also mixed which may make a difference for you. They are apples and pears ie not comparable IMVHO

Hi There, I am Nicola Steed, the Admissions Registrar at Churcher's College. I would be very happy to chat to you about our admissions process and also would like to invite you to our Annual Open Day on the 3rd July from 10am until 2pm. Please do call me on 01730 236825 to discuss further. Registered 11+ candidates will sit the entrance assessment on Saturday 29th January 2011 for Sept 2011 entry. They will be given three papers; English, Maths and Verbal Reasoning (one hour on each), and be invited to meet the Headmaster for an 'informal chat' next term. We also request a reference from the current school. Practice papers are also available to registered candidates in English and Maths. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards. Nicola
