Private schools in Surrey/Berks

[Madaboutcake]

Hi All

Having seen the Eton thread I'm interested to know if any mums out there can recommend other good private schools for my ds from age 11 or 13. We live between Woking and Sunningdale but would love to move to one of the Guildford villages. Don't want him to board.

Does anyone have personal experience of any schools in these areas?

Thanks!

Should also say we're not posh enough for Eton! We don't have that kind of cash or lifestyle.

My ds is very good at Maths and Science and very sociable. Can take or leave English!

thanks

There aren't that many day schools that accept boys in the area, I'm afraid.

DS will be going to St George's College in Addlestone, which is about the only one there is around here that is selective. For non-selective, there's Licensed Victuallers School in Ascot.

If you are moving closer to Guildford, there will be more - Reeds in Cobham is quite a good one, St John's Leatherhead etc.

The best thing is to look at the ISIS website.

there's the royal grammar school in guildford. I was at school in guildford decades ago so things have probably changed a lot since then but it was a very good school (and friends who live there seem to think it's still got a good reputation).

Issymum, small world - my friend has just moved directly opposite Lanesborough and we visited her just 2 weeks ago !!

I know you asked about private, but St Crispins in Wokingham has an exceedingly good reputation in maths and science.

Issymum , probably the same family. They have 2 girls, aged 6 and 4, been there since last September and have recently had some work done to the front of the house. I don't think she would consider you completely insane ! She is aware of MN and my real name isn't too hard to guess. Anyway I'm due to email her so can suggest she looks out for you !
