Greycoats vs. St. Saviour's & St. Olaves: PLS HELP!

I'm starting to seriously look at Girls' secondary schools for my 9yo dd, who's currently home-educated. She's quiet, well-behaved, above average but not G&T, responds well to calm and discipline, HATES behaviour-related disruption.

We live in Peckham, so St. Saviours would be a wonderfully quick 15 min journey for her, whilst Greycoats would prob require her to leave by 7.45. I'm aware that's probably a standard commute for Secondary, but she's not very robust physically, so that's a bit of a worry for me.

We're practising Catholics, quite active in our parish, so would probably score fairly well for a Christian/Catholic school.

If anyone has any experience of either of these schools, or any others that might suit her, please come and tell me about them! Thanks Smile

Do you mean Greycoat Hospital at Victoria? I think most of the places go to C of E applicants and otherwise to siblings who live very near the school.

I would have a look at your local council's website and download the Secondary Schools info booklet and do the same for adjoining boroughs. Then have a look at the websites and Ofsted reports of any schools that seem possible travelling wise.
