Godolphin and Latymer or Westminster

11+ results came through yesterday, and DD received offers from Westminster and Godolphin & Latymer

She seems to have her heart set on Westminster, but as it is the first year that they are accepting girls we're unsure about it

Currently confused and deadlocked, so any advice or insights from anyone with experience at either school would be appreciated!

Still rarely post on MN so failed to indicate my reply was to @Secondtimeinarow . I’ve no particular beef with Westminster, rather this particular bracket of elite boys’ schools who are suddenly welcoming girls with open arms, and using persuasive social modelling as well as PR and marketing to deflect from the real reasons for going co-ed, which is financial necessity and the benefit of coeducation on boys.

@LostinLondon2025

I’ve been wondering the same thing... do these concerns apply to all such schools, or has KCS Wimbledon developed a more robust system since they started taking girls in 2010?
I’m just mulling over a long-term plan to potentially move dd from an all-girls environment to KCS (local to us!) for Sixth Form.
