I’d post in the private schools board, with Stowe in the title

The mixed views you're hearing about Stowe are pretty consistent with what I know of it — it tends to suit a particular kind of child very well and less well for others. The question worth asking is less about the school's reputation overall and more about whether the environment fits your child specifically: how structured they need their day, how they handle a large and socially busy house, and whether the breadth of activities is something they'd genuinely use. I post more on the boarding side of this at @boardingschoolguide if it helps.
