Anyone with DS at Habs Pre-Prep/Prep?

Very interested to hear about your experiences and if it was what you expected? Now that you are in, would you do it again?

Should add for the boys school, hence DS!

Also looking forward hearing some feedback. Thinking of registering my DS for 7+ exam 2020 and DD for 4+ 2020. The academic results from habs boys and girls are extremely good but heard they are a bit on the pressuring side. Would love to hear some existing parents' insight ideas.

Girls school is the absolute opposite of pressured, it's great. Don't know much about the boys.

That's the impression I get of the boys school...no homework till y3 etc... as much as that's a lovely thought and not being taught to the test like at a standalone prep for 11+/13+, how do the Hab boys fare along side the new entrants at these later entry points? I have heard that they have much catching up to do?

Girls who came up from the junior at bhabs do marginally better in gcse and a level than those who came in at 11 despite the minimal homework etc in junior.

Interesting. I wonder if this is the case at the boys school too...? Are there any leavers at 11+ and where do they go?

very few leave from the girls school and it's usually due to relocation, moving to be at the same school as a sibling or moving to a grammar. 3-4 per year max.
