Rokeby, Milbourne Lodge, Homefield for year 5 DS?

We are moving back to SW London after 4 years abroad. DS is 8 and will be going into year 5 in September. I would be grateful for views on Rokeby, Milbourne Lodge and Homefield. I visited all three and liked all of them, for different reasons. DS is reasonably academic and quirky. Not very sporty. We don’t know whether we will be targeting the 11+ or 13+ yet.

Thanks

Quite a few neighbours have had boys at Homefield. Some found it a little pressured academically whilst other were very happy with it. Most seemed to aim for King’s afterwards. The school doesn’t have impressive grounds or facilities but I know from living in the area that it probably doesn’t take more than 5 mins to get to the pool, the trampolines or golf course.

Milbourne definitely as it is very academic yet quirky. They have games everyday without being too sporty. If your ultimate goal is for your child to do well at 11+ or 13+, highly recommend ML. The school will however prefer your child to leave at 13 for boys.
My neighbour recommended ML for us and it was the best decision we made for our DS.
