Deciding between Dulwich Prep and Bickley Park School

4 replies

Hello,
My son has offers from both Dulwich Prep & Senior School and Bickley Park school for 4+ reception entry.
We live elsewhere in London so we will have to move irrespective of the school we choose. So location / proximity is not a factor for us.

Does anyone have any views on how the schools compare from academic rigour, general care (especially in the early years), 11+ /13+ prep, leavers destination perspective?

My son is at Bickley Park and we are so happy with the school. We find our son is challenged academically but the school has such a caring atmosphere.

We are reassured that the school has good connections to Sevenoaks and the other Kent schools etc

We did a lot of research before choosing Bickley Park for our boy and are very happy with our choice.

@SplatSplash thanks. In your research did you consider Dulwich Prep as well? Is it ok if I DM you?

We did look at Dulwich but thought that Bickley Park suited our son better and is a much easier journey.
Please feel free to DM.
