Sherrardswood school, Wellwyn.. anyone have any experience of this?

[escape]

a friend is re-locating and is realy interested in sending her DD's here,
so any information gratefully received!
TIA

No experience personally but is one of the best schools in the area.

It's local to me. We thought that the nursery and reception was excellent and we really liked the junior school as well. Results for the senior school are not so great, although still not bad but we hope to send our children to a more academic school (unless of course that's not suitable for them).

Ultimately though we decided not to send our dds there because we wanted them to go to a seperate junior school to their senior school because I want them to experience the change of moving to a new senior school which I think whislt it can be stressful it does also teach valuable skills about making new friends and operating in a new environment. We also felt that a school that was from 3 - 18 may not focus on providing any necessary assistance for children that were taking entry exams into alternative senior schools.

thanks all, anymore for any more!?

Prep school is excellent, as is the nursery. It's a lovely school with fantastic grounds, and has a very nice family 'feel'.

they play dirty at netball or they did 20years ago lol.

no seriously, its meanbt to be a very good school.

thanks guys,
only problem she has now is that they are full for this term, so if anybody 'knows' anybody

Any idea which school years this is that are full, escape?

total guess here,
the girls will be 10 going on 11 and 13 going on 15
so yrs 6 and 10 ???
sorry, we are abroad, and the class system is different here.

Good for pre prep and prep, also up to 16 but 6th form very very small, with poor results.

Neighbours DC tried for other competitive schools from Sherrardswood and didn't get in anywhere else.
