MY DD went to Heathfield!!! You have posted in Primary, but do you ean Heathfield, Ascot? 11-18?

It was full boarding in our day. I do think the boarders have a special bond and a few days girls will not necessarily be part of this. I am sure the school will tell you day girls are fine, and they will be, but they cannot be part of the overall boarding family there.

What does your DD want? We were guided by ours and their feelings. Also, can she change from the start of y8 or even during y7? How many day girls have they got?
