Surbiton high school

[early30smum]

Please could anyone give any up to date info/feedback? Considering it for year 7 for our DD. What is it like academically? Sports wise I know it's great for gymnastics which my DD is very into (in a squad) but what about other sports? Are the girls from a range of backgrounds and is it reasonably diverse? (Which is what I would want!) thanks.

It's a great school with 6 super sports that include gymnastics. You need to visit to see all of this. The new head starts in Jan 18. The main downside is that it is big, 8 x Year 7 classes this coming September, that's 160 girls in the year so getting a place in a sports team or school play is a challenge for all. Yes it's diverse with a range of backgrounds and wide catchment but same as other secondary schools in the area with good transport links like KGS. Some of the girls in Year 7 come from the Surbiton Junior school (around 40). Academically it's very sound.
