Does anyone have a view on how these differ other than location? We only saw the WofK grounds without the children in there due to covid and need to make a choice this week.
Would appreciate any thoughts from those who gave experienced both /either.

As a rider, I don’t have a child at either! DDs two closest friends from Primary are at Weald Sevenoaks, both seem to be doing well (although both seem to have fallen a bit behind on Maths post home schooling). They are both well adjusted & bright girls and their parents chose it over others as it seemed less of a hothouse.

Others from DDs class are at the Tonbridge site. While the Kent parents I know all got the Weald site they wanted, an out of area friend got Sevenoaks when they wanted Tonbridge. So while from what I can see it’s likely that you’ll get the site you want, it really isn’t guaranteed. So I’d figure that into the decision making. The Sevenoaks site isn't un-doable from TW (if that’s where you live) but with the bus journey out to Greatness (where the annex is) it’s going to make a time difference both in terms of getting up and getting home and your DDs downtime- particularly when you figure in that the Weald girls seem to have quite a heavy homework schedule.
