Independent Boys school in London for expat

[expat1407]

Hi All,
This is my first topic here, so please excuse me if I ask some silly questions.

We are currently in Switzerland and husband tells me that we may be moving to Lodon in a year's time. My Son would be in Year 9 at the time of our move, he is in Grade 6 ( Year 7) now.

We may go in mid-session Year 8 or Year 9, not sure yet

I am trying to do some advance homework on what schools to target. I need Private school as I don't think he will fit in state system after his International school experience.
He is Maths and Science boy, not very sporty, but doesn't mind trying sports. He is above average , but not a genius. He loves challenging work at school and is ready to put in a lot of efforts for studies. His English is also good. Been born and brought up in UK till Year 5 ( not in London )

I know London is very vast, our apporach is to find a school and then move to an area that is near school. Husband's office location is not a problem.

My little research on Mumsnet has thrown names of Hampton Boys and Whitgift .
Please can you suggest me more names, so that I can begin my research on schools.

Thanks

Sorry Wetherby

If you are interested in co-ed you might consider Kew House School. This is a relatively new school and may be likely to have occasional places as it is less well known than other schools.

Thanks for suggestions.
I think my emails are going on spam folders of some schools. So I will ring them tomorrow.

Does anyone have Kingston Grammar School exam experience. I have been emailing back and forth and Registrar has only told me they follow National curriculum for exam. I asked for format of question papers....no reply.

I don't think KGS offer sample papers at 13+, only for 11+. You might have to keep pushing the Registrar. It wouldn't be fair if he doesn't have a clue about what the papers are likely to be like.

As far as the National Curriculum is concerned I think your current school should be able to advise you on that.

There are no sample papers for 13+ either. I've pm'd you expat1407.
