Sydenham High School and St Dunstan’s college

[Copagirlsmum]

Hello, could parents with children that are in or have been recently to any of these schools share their views please? My daughter was offered a place in both for secondary school, we liked both but would appreciate some inside views. She is shy, loves art, books, math and PC games not overly academic or sporty.
Thank you

How is she not overly academic if she was offered a place?

Meaning she is a normal child that studies what is necessary for example she likes learning math in class but not the type that does math puzzles for fun at weekends. She does sports and enjoy specific activities etc
Basically some schools seems to only focus on kids in that profile and we wouldn’t like to put this sort of pressure on her.
The schools in question here seems to be very balanced. Just wanted to have a inside view as she comes from a state school.

My daughter is currently attending St Dunstans and is in year 7. She is also very shy but quickly adjusted to their school. They have great pastoral care and offer support to the children at all times via email. If you have any questions about the school feel free to ask!!
