Francis Holland SW v St James v Queen's Gate - which is best?

[Mumofthreelondon]

Would love any views on which of these three schools you would choose?

The one you live nearest to and which your dd prefers

Personally I love FH Sloane sq. Great girls & seen them do super work with academically average girls.

Thanks. What about More House? Any views?

I love More House too. Academically less selective but a happy school.

Thanks. Any experience of Marymount international ? Further obviously but we now have some decisions to make !

Like pp said choose the one your daughter likes.

Of the schools you have asked about I can say that Queen's Gate is a friendly, happy school where the girls are nurtured and encouraged to achieve their full potential. My dd has found the teaching inspiring and they have a fantastic programme of extracurricular activities. As it is a small school they really get to know each girl well.

It has a very caring ethos and the Head seems to work tirelessly and be a great leader of the school.

Thanks so much everyone. That's v helpful.

So its decision time now! I am planning to accept Queen's Gate over St James and FH South. Any views? It is so hard to know if you are taking the right decision...

@Mumofthreelondon Where did you choose in the end?

Queens Gate. It feels right and is very close to our home...

Thanks QGmum for your description - it was so helpful!!

Good choice! Hope your daughter will be very happy there.

Hi Mumofthree, just wondering how your DD is getting on a Queen's Gate? It's decision time for us and I just came across this thread.

@Mumofthreelondon, can i pm you with few questions please?

Yes feel free to PM me ..

Hi, just wondering if QG mums can advise me on their senior school? We have applied for eleven plus. Are the girls friendly and do they have events with boys schools?

HI Everyone,

We are considering applying for FHSS, QG and St James for 11+

Please can you share your thoughts on these schools. 😊
