Tell me about your experience of schools which offered academic rigour and level-headed ethos for bright, eccentric, non sporty boys. Independent for 4-11/13. Ideally day and coed but will go for boys only if offers right culture. Looking for non-pretentious with focus on instilling love of learning and critical thinking over traditional/rugby boys schooling. Noting these schools lean towards being town schools (as opposed to masses of land for sports).
Willing to move for right place (we work remote). Ds6 currently in state and is bored and frustrated by lack of challenge particularly in maths. Welcome useful tips for schools providing the culture mentioned above. ThanksÂ

But all those activities are offered at every good independent school, @Twilightstarbright . You surely can’t imagine yours is the only institution that has them?
