This is more a fond dream than an actual plan. Yes, I've done some reading up, but wanted to ask any parents with recent(ish) first hand knowledge.

What's it really like? What sort of boy does it suit? Is it really worth the additional expense. (not the fees themselves IYSWIM but being at the high end - and on the same theme, are many things billed as extras) How hard is the scholarship exam? Has anything in particular surprised/pleased/disappointed you/your son/s?

Two specific questions - if anyone is still reading!

a) it says you are billed for sessions of learning support - how much?

b) based solely on one comment in a Nancy Mitford book - is there still a "pecking order" of houses?
