Is a 2.4 mile radius good enough to get into HBS?
(also feel free to talk and give advice about HBS here!)

I have friends whose daughters attend Henrietta Barnett in Hampstead and they live much further away than that.

Thanks! My DD is taking the test 2 of october

I am just worried about the commute, she would have to take a train which I'm not very comfortable about.

I know that my friends daughters get there and back by coach- not sure if that is organised by the school or by parents.

the school has no information about taking a coach, tho some ppl mistake for 13 as she is tall, so she might be able to cope because the bus would take an hour

The elevenplus forum would help you more.

Pretty sure HBS have some kind of priority catchment area now -no idea if you would qualify.

there may be girls coming from 10+ miles away but they got in under the old system which was only score based....

Thanks! But all there is are worries about catchment areas. I was hoping to find some to give me some information about the school etg. pastoral care, work, teachers but Thanks anyway!

ah ok -your first post here was asking whether she'd get in from 2.4 miles away? (which surely counts as a catchment area worry?)

there definitely is stuff on there about the school/pastoral care etc

if you don't find what you're after then go ahead and ask your question - you'll get far more traffic over there?

Thanks for the advice!

My question got answered earlier if you can see!
