Prior Park College, Bath vs. Stonar vs. Westonbirt

Really interested in any up to date experiences of Prior Park, College in Bath, Stonar in Wiltshire & Westonbirt please. Looking for a senior school for a very academic boy, who is also strong in sport and generally a good all rounder but sometimes struggles with emotional and social aspects of school & is easily overwhelmed (possible asd) and needs nurturing. No behavioural issues - he thrives in an environment where he can build strong relationships with staff who he trusts and who really know & understand him and some of his difficulties. Looking for a smaller school with great pastoral care but ultimately also able to stretch the more able too. We have a younger dd too who is less academic and, ideally, she will attend the same school as her brother. We will be visiting all three soon but it’s always great to hear from those with personal experience. Thank you!

My Daughter is at Stonar and is really happy there.

its very nurturing and the staff and pupils all get on well.

my daughter has a recent autism diagnosis and the school have been great so far in supporting her and us.

my daughter isn’t pushed massively academically but she’s doing well and is on track for some good gcse grades.
