Hi,

I have an offer for nurseryplaces for my little oneat both these schools,and wanted to ask for any advice as to which was the better school. I have been to both, both seem good, but would be great to getmore of aninsider view.

Thanks

Hi. Just hoping to revive this thread again. We are considering St Aubyn's and Forest for our DS. For us (subject to being offered places at either) it may come down to cost as Forest seems a lot more expensive and as a % their fees seem to go up annually at a faster rate than St Aubyn’s. Any experiences would be greatly appreciated. Does anyone know how early you have to sign up to St Aubyn’s to be in with a shot of a place as it is done in a first come basis? Thanks.

TheWansteds - You should add you DS to the wait list at Aubyn’s as soon as possible. The wait list can be extensive.

Existing parents at Aubyns/WGPS. Any more recent feedback between the two?

Many thanks in advance

Thanks so much, Likewise, all, any views on the schools would be so welcome.

@thewansteads St A's is first come first served but I know a number of people who were pretty far down the waiting list and got in. My daughter has just started at Forest in reception and so far so good. Another school to think shout is Snaresbrook Prep. Very small but really wonderful.

Hello - hope no one minds if I revive this thread. Just wondered if anyone had any current feedback on WGPS / St Aubyns / Forest.

Many thanks

St A was nice, spent nursery -> year two and both got into Bancroft's for 7+.
New head (been there 3 years) seems decent,
