Queen ethelburgas or cardiff sixth form college or abbey college cambridge

[kkennington]

Hi again
I had asked last time if it would be okay for my dd to change her school during yr10. sure that no one remembers but anyway we looked for some schools and found that QE and Csfc and abbey college. (Or maybe oxford international). DO you recommend these schools? My dd is british but she lived in Britain after year 2.

My best friend's son went to CSFC to study maths, with the intention of going to Oxbridge. He didn't get an offer, however, and ended up at Imperial College.
From what I understand, it's an intense 2 years, with a huge amount of input and support from the staff and long days. My friend lives locally, so her son travelled in each day, but there were a lot of students from abroad boarding.
Her younger son is hoping to go next year, so it must have been a positive experience ( although the management has changed in between times).

Avoid QE.

The one is Cardiff sounds interesting although I have no personal knowledge.
