Views on St Martha's now Mount House in Barnet?

[purelaxation]

My DD is well rounded and average academically. She's not 11+ material (plus it's super competitive in Barnet) and we're not willling to sacrifice her childhood and our sanity to shoehorn her in somewhere highly academic. I've been intrigued by the rebranding of St Martha's and the new co-ed change means my DS could go there too eventually. Can anyone tell me more about the school, the new consortium that is running the school and whether my DS needs to be tutored and on the Bond books to have a chance to get in? Views and opinions greatly received together with any other non-selective private school recommendations in North London.

Just seen this post when looking for info about this school too! We are considering it for our son for next year. From what I understand, it is non selective so the entrance exam is for benchmarking rather than to only offer places to the academically able.

It's a small school which has it's pros and cons, no outside space, but the consortium are making some big investments, for example there will be a new sports hall. It's in a lovely area too.
