Wellington College or Stowe for sixth form for a strong all-rounder?

[Peggydoo]

Hello-we are currently considering Wellington College for our DD for Sixth Form. She is a strong all rounder (academically and sports) and currently at Boarding School in Scotland.

We are also considering Stowe and have friends there who love it.

My concern is that all the kids disappear at the weekend and Wellington is essentially a weekly boarding school and too trendy for us-we are not London based and a traditional country family!

Any thoughts would be gratefully received about either Stowe or Wellington.

Why is she looking to move from her current school and what is she looking to get out of it? There will be a significant minority of full boarders, particularly in the sixth form at Wellington and it arguably is a better school than Stowe but it does depend rather on what she wants from the move. What her interests are etc
