Dear lovely people,
DS has been offered a place at BGS (Borden Grammar School, Sittingbourne) and OPGS (Oakwood Park Grammar school, Maidstone) as a result of late appeals. He is due to start his year 7 this september. We are very excited about this news.
We currently live in London. As DH and I both mostly WFH, we decided to move to Kent. I need to travel couple of days to London waterloo for work.
We've arranged for school tours for both the schools and we will drive around the area too while we are there.
It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could give us some first-hand information about these two schools and the towns Sittingbourne & Maidenhead.
As we will spend our next 7 years there, I wanted to do my homework before we take the decision.

Maidstone is a nicer town than Sittingbourne, generally. Don't have first hand experience of either school but have several friends with boys at OPGS who are very happy with the school.
