I hope you can give me some insight to this school.
We have two girls and our oldest one is starting school (reception) next year.
We are considering this private school just as we weren't really impressed with the local school options and want to have the best education for our girls. We live 40min drive away so it would be quite a driving commitment as well as very costly for us with two girls. We want to make sure it is worth the sacrifices we would make.
We also want to make sure our girls will not become snobby or feel they are something better just because we have the option to invest so much into their education.

Has anyone experience with this school please? How is the education and how is your daughter getting challenged?

Can you see a difference to kids/friends from local schools to the girls attending this school education level wise as well as behaviour?

We just want to make the right decision and education opens doors.
Where to invest if not into your kids? We had a good feeling at the opening day.

Anything you could share with me would be great.

Hello, I went to the High School here as a girl and loved it. My daughter has just passed the entrance examination for entry into Year Seven this year. It is a fabulous school, great students, great teaching and as a state school primary teacher myself, I feel I am qualified in saying it is way better than state schools. The school is not under pressure to sit year six SATs for a start. The experience is wonderful. Your girls will not be snobby, they just won’t know any different. Many other people who can’t afford this school however will be jealous of you and you will have to deal with some unpleasant comments. Go for it!

Our DD goes to another GDST since year 3 and we are 45 mins away from the school. We tried our village primary but she was bored alot of the time and they just didnt have the resources and get up and go to make things more interesting.
The big difference is the sea of extra curricular activities. The school we are at it is mostly working parents and no one is mega rich. There are far more expensive schools for the seriously well off.
