Coombe Girls or Ursuline, any last minute advice!

[99problemsallsecondaryschoolrelated]

We are having a last minute wobble on secondary school choices. We are within catchment for Coombe Girls, and regular practising Catholics so well placed for Ursuline. Both great schools.
I loved Coombe, bright daughter slightly prefers Ursuline (but isn’t too bothered either way). I’m considering whether to stick or twist. Coombe said they stopped a lot of setting during covid and still not doing it for subjects like English which concerned me, but Ursuline I know women who had bad experiences there (albeit a good while ago) and it’s further away.
Hoping some extra opinions can help nudge me one way or the other, please please please.
(p.s. daughter doesn’t want to go to THC that one’s not in the mix)

I know girls at Coombe Girls who are happy.
I don't know any girls at Ursuline, but do know teachers there who aren't happy with the SLT.
Not very specific, sorry! Good luck choosing.

I know plenty at the Ursuline and their daughters are not particularly happy. It’s a good school alright but pastoral care is not great.

If you're in catchment for Coombe then Ursuline is quite a hike to do every day. Unless you have a very clear preference for Ursuline, I would choose the closer school.

Shame Holy Cross not a contender. IMO it’s head and shoulders above other girls’ schools in the area.

Thanks all really useful. I usually go with my gut if it’s a toss up, but as my daughter had slight preference for Ursuline wasn’t sure if I should just go with her option as they are both v well regarded..
THC yes another great school, i have found it really hard to decide tbh!!!
