Emanuel / Kingston Grammar / Wimbledon High / Putney High

Any views on Emanuel / Kingston Grammar / Wimbledon High / Putney High? Obviously, 2 single sex and 2 co-ed (each option, imho, with pros and cons). We have not yet been able to visit all (getting a booking for an open day seems rather tricky this year).
Particularly interested in the pastoral and extra-curricular dimensions (for a sensitive girl with a liking for art and music, although not at scholar level, and not particularly sporty).

Definitely worth doing a Google search and go back and read old threads from this year's 11+ intake. There's heaps of threads on all these schools.

@JulieBeds Thanks for the pointer. I have indeed looked at old posts but was wondering if there was more recent information (including on how those schools have changed in recent times) and/or direct comparisons.

All these schools have strong drama, art, music etc and girls who aren't sporty. DD got places at all of them and I would have been happy for her to go to any although she had fairly strong ideas about where she did/didn't want to go....
I know children at them all and all are generally happy. Several families have DCs at both. A surprising number have girls at PHS and WHS. Quite different exam styles so often girls get offers from one and not the other. PHS also a bit more 'Central London', WHS more SW London.
Other than the Co-Ed/single sex, Emanuel is the only one with large leafy grounds. also consider journey times etc- super super important!

Really happy with Emanuel: very strong art/drama and quite a lot of sport. Most children take part in Saturday matches. Very good pastoral care.
