SHS v Emanuel v Ibstock?

[Julia1972]

My DD has offers from these schools. Anyone else considering these schools or anyone with children at these schools able to give me any feedback? Is your DC happy at the school? What is the general culture and atmosphere?

It's a very tough choice as they all seem very good schools! Thanks in advance for any replies.

We had offers this year at Surbiton and Emanuel. We won’t take up either of these, but if those had been our two options, we would 100% have taken Surbiton. We really liked everything about it, the girls, the ethos, the sport... I was also (personally) keen on all girls. Honestly, had Surbiton been our only choice, or our choice along with Emanuel, I would have been 100% happy to take it.

Ibstock I looked round but it just wasn’t right for us. In your position I would definitely take Surbiton, but others may disagree. And obviously I don’t have experience of a child there, just my impressions from all the events we attended.
