Glasgow schools: Craigholme or Hutchesons? Which would you choose?

Have posted in Local Glasgow site but thought I'd post here.

My DD is 8 and we are moving over from Edinburgh to start school. State schools are full in local catchment so have decided to try private/independent.

Have to decide between Craigholme (all girls) and Hutchensons Grammar (mixed). Have read mixed reviews about Craigholme and good reviews about Hutchesons.

Would welcome any thoughts...

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Know nothing about Craigsholme but heard good reviews on Hutchesons.

What do your DC want? Have they visited the schools?

Hi pizza. Just looking for a good all round school really. Just don't want to have to move DD one more time so want to ensure I make right decision.

Perhaps take her to visit the schools and see which she would prefer? If she's used to a mixed school the transition to single sex might be a bit strange for her.

I think Hutchensons is very socially mixed as well (as much as can be with a private school).

Very different schools so maybe depends on your child.Hutchie is huge but very good results,sports etc. Craigholme much smaller . maybe more nurturing.Are you living on the South Side ?
