Kent - Sutton Valence Prep vs Dulwich Prep vs St Ronan's vs Marlborough House

[ruggerdad]

We are currently investigating prep schools nearby us in Kent and would be really interested to hear the experiences from any current parents.

The shortlist is Sutton Valence Prep, Dulwich College Prep, St Ronan's and Marlborough House. What are the pros and cons you have found? What are the big differences between each school?

Thanks!

Friends sent their DS to Sutton Valance prep he was really happy there but they don't or at least didn't prepare a child for CE certainly not into places like Eton, you might get away with it for those requiring 50% on level 2 papers, so they moved him at yr 3. Other friends have children in the senior school and are happy with it. Hope this helps.

Many thanks for all the responses- it's great having some insight. I would expect that they are all great schools, so it's just a case of finding the right one now.

Also worth looking at Ashford Prep School in Great Chart. Great reputation!
