Hi All
An associate from American is considering the 2 schools above. I have knowledge of QE and have seen threads about it on here so already have an opinion on it but I don't know Cundall Manor so any experiences/opinions anyone could share would be very helpful.
Thank You

Thank you but as I said I already have an opinion on QE, its the other one I don't really know.

That sounded snippy, sorry. It wasn't meant to

I am guessing they work at Menwith Hill.

Our children go to Cundall. Cundall is a fantastic school we couldn't be happier. . Very different to Queen Ethelburgas. It's much smaller . Our children have never had a day when they didn't want to go to school and academicallly have done very well. Lots of sport, music art and outdoor activities. The 2 schools couldn't be more different. Cundall is definitely worth a visit.

Cundall is smaller - check out the class sizes. Parents and children I've met from there have been lovely people, more so than QE. My only reservation about Cundall would be if the small size of the school would be sustainable in the near future, but other than that I'd opt for Cundall over QE.

I certainly have an opinon on QE that I will share (a watered down version of) with these people but its good to hear positives about one of the other schools they are looking at.

Hmm our experience with Cundall was less positive. Our youngest loved the Pre-Prep and the kids and other parents are nice, but Prep school has felt rather all over the place. Some very old fashioned teaching, especially in regard to SEN. Seems a lot of the teachers have been there forever but leadership turnover is a bit alarming - 4 heads in 4 years I think?! In the end we opted for Asgarth instead. Feels like there is more financial security at Asgarth too - facilities more up to date and no portacabins in sight - so perhaps worth a look.
