Experiences of academics, pastoral care and entry at LEH or Guildford High?

[Anothermum123]

Hello! If anybody has their DD at Lady Eleanor Holles or Guildford high school please could you tell me what the academics and pastoral care is like and any other pros and cons of the schools? Also how difficult are the entrance exams?

GHS is 4+ assessment but is further away from me LEH has entry at 7 but I'm worried the 6+ will be more stressful, if anyone has any input on this also? How much prep is necessary and if it's very stressful for kids that age, I'm assuming it is!

thank you!!

My daughter is at LEH Juniors. She came from a state infant school and we did some Schofield and Simms/CGP books at home in the few months before the 7+ assessment. My daughter is thriving - she has made so many friends, she takes part in sport, performances etc - the increase in her confidence across all areas has been amazing to see. She's also made really strong progress academically. Most importantly, she absolutely loves going to school. We couldn't be happier with the school - there is a real warmth and sense of care; lots of focus on the school values and living these. I am also very happy that we are not doing the 11+!
