Hi just looking for opinions as to how hard it is to get in half way through the year. How is the teaching staff at this school and the atmosphere? Are children genuinely happy? Thanks

DHS reflects the London diversity, It is not selective or exclusive as others in the area but It can reach great results as well!

From first hand experience I can share that school head has communicated that my child can not attend the class as his fee is late by few weeks and I have asked for couple of months time to pay. Have been paying full fee regularly including recent hikes after Private Equity takeover however the tone of communication and the fact that they are ok to stop the child from classes during the term because fee is late probably explains everything about Head teacher, Devonshire House and Dukes.

Respectfully if you don't pay the fees, why should they allow your child keep attending? How can they know that you'll pay? If I don't pay my private doctor, I can promise you he won't see me again. Same with my accountant. Why would you expect a business to keep providing services if the customer is not paying? This is after all a business. And while am sure it's very distressing, it's also not particularly shocking.
