Ludgrove school

[schoold]

Would appreciate any comments, opinions or advice about Ludgrove school.

Simple answer If you love your son don't sent him to Ludgrove !!!!

What's wrong with it ??

list very long !!!! Awful dorms, matrons never stay long, teaching staff shout at the boys, no choice of food basically if they don't like it tough, boys to scared to get out of bed to go to toilet in the night and wet the bed and the list goes on and on and on !!!!

What are the dorns like?

Why don't you go and look at it? One person's "awful dorms" might be your idea of heaven. I think there are better boarding prep schools myself, but as we decided to stay day until 13 and then board, I can't offer any personal experience. If it really is like hotairballoon describes i can't think why anyone would want to send their DS there. Good luck.

What exeriences do you have with boarding in general??

Is the prince factor still a selling point for the school??

do you really want/need boarding? If not, there are many nice schools in that area. If you do need boarding, have you looked into Eagle House, for example?

My DS's school plays against Ludgrove sometimes and my impression, as a total outsider, is not great. I can't exactly say why, but the boys always look a bit "sad" to me. Maybe it is because there are lots of parents there supporting the other school and clearly no parents from Ludgrove. Go and see it. It is the only way you can make you mind up, really.

What can anyone tell me about Ludgrove School?
I first heard of Ludgrove school several years ago when I read a book on Prince William, lets all have a laugh, I was one of those who wanted to know everything about him. The book said that Ludgrove was a full boarding boys school, boys slept in dormitories of eight, phone calls home were forbidden, wrote a weekly letter home, went home once a month, eight o'clock curfew, boys were taught Latin and Greek, the school has a golf course and excellent facilities. PS ALL of the figures in the book were based on 1990 information, so the school may be completely different today.
What does the modern Ludgrove school have to offer boys?

I am in America where boarding schools do not even start until year 9, so the whole concept of prep boarding fasinaites me.
