I am looking for advice on Uppingham. DD would be looking to start in year 9. Academically conscientious (but not a high flyer), sporty, enjoys music & drama. Very confident with boarding and is really good at making friends.
Would love some feedback from current/recent parents with regards to pastoral care, teaching staff and girls sports. I know it mentions lacrosse on their website but how much is actually played? It sounds like it is perhaps only in the older years. Are they strong at hockey & girls cricket?
We aren't looking for an academic hothouse but feel she would benefit from being in a school where the children work and want to achieve.
Any feedback would be gratefully received
