Henries/Princethorpe/others. Warwickshire/Northants schools for 11+ entry

Hi, I’m looking for advice on schools locally for a musical, dramatic, fun loving but not particularly academic girl for 11+ entry.

We were leaning towards Princethorpe but have since learned they are becoming more academically selective rather than looking for all rounders. Any thoughts on this? And thought on prep for the admissions process?

Also on our list to look at is Henries, Kingsley, Quinton House and Pitsford. Is there anywhere else we should look?

backup plan would be prep until 13+ and the look again…

TIA for any insights!!

Have you considered Bloxham?

I’d recommend that you take a look at Wellingborough. DS joined in Year 3 & today is his final day before A’Level study leave. We moved him to Wellingborough from Akeley Wood & have been very happy with our choice.
