Any views on Graveney (not extension)?

[AveEldon]

I know everyone is super keen on the extension sets but if your child is not in extension is it still a great option?

Our other options are Chestnut Grove & Burntwood. Also possibly La Retraite

Graveney: have friends with children in sets other than extension and they're pretty pleased. They do get moved up and down, so initial setting isn't once-and-for-all. Have friend with child in Upper who went to Russell Group Unis for BA and MA. So I think they aim high for all children. SEND isn't too bad, though I hear they have a new SENCO, so don't know about future.

Have friends whose children went to Chestnut Grove and Burntwood and were pleased with both of those. At neither school were children in top sets.

I've heard that La Retraite is nurturing but that is only by hearsay.

Thanks
