Westminster vs St Pauls

[vistavij]

DD has been offered places at WUS and STPS, Which school is better if you want to pursue Engineering in the future ? I am extremely confused.

I have never had a child at either school, visited, but no actual experience of being there . Based on their reputation I would say either could very easily encourage a child with leanings towards engineering - I suspect you are turning on a sixpence here.

Between those schools , if you have visited and don't have a strong feeling after that , I would go for distance / ease of commute. Both are excellent but probably very different journeys to and fro.

Best wishes

Do you mean WUS and Colet Court?

Or was it just an interloping letter on a cussed keyboard?

If it is your DD - DO you Westmister for sixth form and SPGS?

DO you MEAN....

Actually Colet Court has been renamed St Paul’s Junior School. I assume the OP is looking at a junior school place. I agree they are both impressive schools for a very academic child and I would choose the one with the easiest commute. Both will be able to help a DC focus on engineering.

Both will be able to help a DC focus on engineering.

Or, one hopes, help them to keep their options fully open. I wonder what the national statostics are, re 'What I said I wanted as a career at the age of 10 / 13 / 15' vs 'What I actually decided to study at university' and 'Where I actually ended up spending my working life'?

Hasn't the acceptance deadline for both WUS and SPJ passed now? Or are you holding both places, having paid both deposits or holding 2 bursary places?

@MarchingForgs - ha ha - any good school will keep an option open for most things - which is why I said look at the commute because a long bus / train journey outside the normal school day - well think about about it.

After the initial "train driver" "policeman" "astronaut" as a tiny tot - DS chose a degree not directly connected to the job he wants to do but now doing a conversion course. I do think junior school is too early to choose & yes keeping options open is good. Ha ha @Marchingfrogs - v interesting - would love to know that

& I agree with @jeanne16 , as I said above , choose the better commute - it will help - both are excellent - it is a very high quality problem to have if that is a genuine choice OP
