[girlsallaround]

what are the entry ages for girls?

and which are the best private schools?

primary or secondary?
Primary are all very good - new End, Fitzjohns, Cristchurch, Fleet, Hampstead Parochial - they're mainly in the hampstead end of NW3. Secondary is harder -Camden School for girls from age 11 is supposed to be excellent but you have to live very nearby as everyone wants it!

THe best private girls school is South Hampstead High school for girls. There are also coaches to Habs and North London. The best state school and IMO just as good as the private schools is Henrietta Barnett in NW11. I don't know about any of the other state schools.
