Donhead & Rokeby views?

[whatty]

Hi all. We've just received offers from Donhead and Rokeby for our son for September 2017. We are struggling to decide which is best- does anyone have any experience or views (ignoring cost & location) on these two schools? many thanks.

We also have a place at Rokeby for 2017 (and an offer from Squirrels).

We didn't apply to Donhead because at the time I thought there was a much stronger religious / catholic aspect to the school than I think there actually is. I do know that two sets of neighbours have boys there who love it (kids and parents). I get the impression that it is quite a sporty school and that the social / community aspect is strong.

My understanding is that Rokeby is probably a bit more academic, and I think they have higher number of boys going on to Kings than Donhead.
