Dulwich College Prep, St Duntans, Sydenham High, Blackheath High

[ozhodge]

Was advised to put the school names in heading so apologies for the duplicate.
The kids (Nursery & Year 2) were put through their paces this week at assessments and meetings with the schools. Was certainly more than was expected at some of them (naively i guess). The good news is that we got made offers. Now comes the part about choosing from them. I would really appreciate people's thoughts on St Dunstans vs Dulwich College Prep for Year 2 boy and St Dunstans vs Blackheath High vs Sydenham High for Nursery girl. I've searched on here and found a few older threads on each individually.
Obviously location is now an issue (Blackheath vs others) but we are still hoping to live in Greenwich/Blackheath. Any help would be great appreciated.

. bumping for you ozhodge!

Does anyone have any feedback on the above schools?

I use state schools, but do live in Blackheath.

They all have a good reputation, but of them Dulwich College has the most prestige. However, it does take at least 40 minutes to get from Blackheath to Dulwich in school run traffic - probably longer. The distances are not huge, but the roads are congested.

Lots of the brightest Blackheath children attend Dulwich schools at senior level, but they get a school bus. I am guessing that for Y2 you would be doing school run. I would not like to do this journey twice a day, so maybe you would like to rethink where you will be living.

Thanks for the advice. In fact we have talked about that and reconsidered living in Dulwich instead of Greenwich/Blackheath. We haven't really found a place to live there so will continue looking there as well as Greenwich/Blackheath.
