Just after some recent experience from Brummies please. My dd is torn between these two options. Travel is the same for both as we live in south Birmingham, ie they're both quite a trek (one by bus(es), the other by train). I would have liked her to try out the bus routes to Stourbridge but can't now.
She was hoping to make a decision by going to the induction days but it's looking like they won't happen. There are obviously lots of differences between them - college vs school, uniform vs none etc. She can see pros and cons to both options.
Does anyone have any experience regarding teaching/ uni entry support etc? And how quickly kids integrate and settle in.
