Hi,
We are relocating to London from Singapore soon. We need to choose between Dulwich College Preparatory (not Dulwich College) and Eaton House The Manor Prep School.
While academically and on all-round - both seem fine...I am a little worried about diversity. I look at the website and see a sea of white,blond and blue. We are brown and black :-).
Any opinions on diversity at these schools ? And in general , in your opinion, would it be an issue to be the only Asian kid in an all Brit class ?
Many thanks,
Madhuri

I'm intrigued to know who the Asian parents are, clearly Colleger must know them IRL, pray tell.

Hi All - I just registered our DS on the Eaton House website. He is 10 weeks old. Do you think we are too late? What are the chances of getting in? Also, I was surprised to find that they did not ask for a registration fee on the website when I registered. I hope I did not miss any steps :s

Colleges: isn’t the OP looking for Prep age, not teenage?

DC (upper) is very diverse and has many overseas pupils.

However the London Private School demography is rife with teens who make racist comments and behave in racist ways to bus drivers, shop keepers etc.

I have seen and heard them.

And unless you are of colour you rally have no idea how subtlet things manifest themselves in schools where majority parents and children are white, it whise respindibilitb it is if there is ‘an issue ‘.

Fell for Colleger the troll...Blush

Sorry!

SherryM this thread isn’t even relevant to your Q! You will get a better response naming the school and registration times in tne thread title.

Best start a new one focussing on
