Christ's/ Grey court school

[onedayatatime73]

Can someone please give me some feedback on Christs and Grey Court? I have been to see Christs but Grey Court don’t seem to do open days which is exasperating. I loved Christs when I saw it, but the emphasis seems to be on sport – and clearly they excel at sport, but it’s not my DD’s strength at all so I’m worried she would get a bit lost in it all. And they don’t stream children – does anyone know if those that are academic are stretched? Sorry not meaning to sound like a pushy parent, am just finding it all rather tricky to fathom.

Hi there,
I don't have personal experience of either school but as nobody else has answered I thought I would just say that I know children at both and all seem happy, including the brighter children I know at Christ's.
Grey Court is probably a bit pushier.
Christ's seems friendlier, and less pressured, also slightly smaller.
Religious stuff was the thing that put me off Christ's most, tbh (lots of Jesus posters in hallways etc).
Grey Court grounds really lovely.
Music at Christ's seemed a real strength.
I haven't sent a child to either school so can't comment from personal experience.
Might be worth asking on Mumsnet Local? I am sure there are parents with children at both schools on the Richmond section.

Are Grey Court really no longer running open days? This seems a bit mad to me!
