Royal Latin or Aylesbury high or Henry Floyd Grammar: which one would you prefer?

If distance was not a criteria, which school would you prefer? After taking a detailed look at the websites my preference would be as follows: 1) Aylesbury high 2) Henry Floyd 3)Royal Latin.
I loved the extra curricular, world expeditions and the like offered by Henry Floyd. However is it academic enough? Aylesbury High (girls) seems to have the right mix of academic and extra curricular. Any thoughts?

My daughter is in year 9 at Aylesbury High, and we've been very pleased with it. A lot of the clubs take place at lunch times rather than out of school, because some girls travel quite long distances. They specialise in languages and all year 7's do French, German, Spanish and Italian, and then choose French plus one other for year 8. They had an Ofsted inspection last week which we haven't seen the results of yet.
My friends with kids at the Floyd are very happy with it too. My nephew went to the Roayl Latin a few years ago, and did very well there.

My eldest did very well at RLS - she was never allowed to revert to her default setting of coasting! Grin Currently have another DC there and one about to start in September. Can't really comment on the other schools as don't know enough about them, but can definitely recommend RLS...but getting a place if you are a long way out of catchment might be tricky.
