Holy Cross Prep, Rowan Prep, The Study Prep, Falcons, The Old Vicarage

[Absct]

We are considering these school for our DD: Holy Cross Preparatory, Rowan Preparatory, The Study Preparatory, Falcons School for Girls and The Old Vicarage.
Any reviews from parents of girls currently attending would be great.

So you mean Rowan Prep School in Claygate or the Rowans in Wimbledon? Asking because Rowan Prep is quite far away from the others. Both of my daughters have been at Rowan Prep since they were two.

@PixellatedPixie Rowan Prep in Claygate. Oh that's great. Are you glad you chose Rowan? I've only really heard positive things about Rowan and it's currently at the top of our list.

@PixellatedPixie Ideally we were looking for a school with sports facilities as our DD suffers terribly from motion sickness and we hoped she wouldn't have to get on a coach every week. I was the same and would have hated that. Would you happen to know if the sports grounds and swimming pool are a long drive away?

We absolutely love Rowan. It’s very small and nurturing. They are excellent at placing the girls at secondary schools that really suit them. The sports facilities are all off site but very close by - about 5 min in a mini bus for the sports fields and about 10 minutes for swimming. But how far away are you because if you are looking at schools so far apart from each other I would worry about the motion sickness getting to and from school!

@PixellatedPixie Thank you! I'm currently in Old Malden. It's a 10 min drive to Rowan, Holy Cross and the Study.

I taught at holy cross a few years ago. It's genuinely the loveliest place ever. I miss it dearly.
