NLCS vs GHS vs OHS

We have 4+ offers at these schools. They are far from each other but we have flexibility to move close to any of them. I don’t think anyone will have experience with all of them but can anyone provide any feedback? We want an academic education, good for sports, and an environment that helps to create a lateral thinking child with ability to push her potential and be confident.
GHS- Guildford High
OHS- Oxford High

Is the education/facilities/extracurricular/girls they produce a cut above at any of them?

They all have excellent reputations. I suspect OHS slightly less hothouse than the other two.

What is the process at each for 11+? Do any offer pretty automatic progression?

Thanks for replying @bookgirl1982. There seems to be automatic progression for all of them but we would be notified in Y4/5 should there be any issues. We loved them all and each have there pros and cons. We want the best opportunities for our daughter and I know it’s not all down to the school, but as we are in a good position to select one, we want to make the right choice

First - congratulations.
Second - you can exhale and toss a coin.
I am joking a bit. But seriously - the education your daughter will receive in any of these top schools is going to be of the very high quality. And there is no ‘right choice’. Not when you are selecting between the top schools like that.
In reality - so much of your daughter’s educational experience will also depend on her friends and individual teachers she’ll have.

So - if the schools are comparable on facilities, and broadly on results - then I would chose based on which location would work best for you as a family.

I would say though that it is quite difficult to know at 4 whether the school would still be right for your D when she is 15...
