Simon Balle or Chauncy for sixth form in Hertford and Ware?

[HeatherBlack1990]

HI to everyone on here 👍🫂
PLEASE could I just ask for your help 🙏
Would you recommend Simon Balle in Hertford or CHAUNCY in Ware for 6th Form ?
My daughter is not happy in her current school and feels that she will have underachieved in her current GCSE’s 🥺 Part environment - partly because her best teachers left !
ANY advice or insight gratefully received

(In terms of distance these are our realistic alternatives)

Many thanks xx

Both have excellent reputations. Has she checked out which A levels are available in each. Is she interested in the music aspect of Simon Balle? Do either of them set GCSE requirements she may not meet?

She is interested in Geography & Criminology & Business
We don’t know her GCSE results yet - so she has no firm offers as yet
We will have to phone on the day & just hope !
I am worried that they could be cliques and because she is shy she won’t fit in
🥺🙏

Sixth form inductions are well designed to include newcomers and there will be lots. If she gets offers from both I would just go with the nearest one. You dont want her travelling between the two towns to see friends if you can avoid it. Also check which get the best results for those subjects, just in case there is a stark difference. Hope the GCSE results go well 🙏
