Please can anyone advise with above school offers St Pauls 13+ (offer received) Westminster 13+ (pending results) and KCS 11+(offer received) - what are your opinions about these school choices. Very nice dilemma to be in and with no options of visiting school before deadline 5/3/21 was wondering if anyone can share their thoughts and experience.

Same! i have no idea what the format of the exam is, but i'm just assuming it's all written rather than multiple choice and essentially the same as for other schools (but harder).

Can I ask? Is the offer from St Pauls sent by email or post ?

I have a ds @ SPJ in year 8. It's very fast paced with fixtures on Saturday mornings. I believe most of the private schools have that too! He has been there since 8+ and is very happy. They move at a fast pace, I would say up to GCSE Level in many subjects already. I can't fault the teaching, they are always willing to help your child explore topics at a deeper level. We turned down KCS as SPJ was much closer to us. IMHO Westminster probably suits less sporty boys as they don't have facilities on site. All 3 of these schools will have high academics. Personally I would choose the school that is closest to you. Good luck with your decision!

I think the decision was taken back in 2021, it's an old thread
