I’d really appreciate some recommendations and experiences of private secondary schools for both girls and boys around the Beaconsfield area.
My daughter is currently at Pipers Corner, but we looking to move her. Academically she’s very strong, but emotionally it doesn’t feel like the right fit for her.
We also have a son to think about for secondary shortly , so looking at schools that might suit both children long term.
Schools I’m starting to look at are Claires Court, Berkhamsted and Shiplake.
The biggest thing for us now is pastoral care and the overall atmosphere. We’re looking for a genuinely kind, grounded, happy school where issues are dealt with properly and children feel supported. My daughter is very academic, while my son is sporty, but ultimately we’d prioritise warmth, good values and a balanced environment over pure results.
Any experiences — good or bad — would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.
