Hello,

Would parents of years 7 or 8 children be able to share their experience of the school so far?

We are planning on going on the school tour but it would be good to hear from parents whose children attend the school.

Thank you.

@Smoogs82 Hi, I am happy to say DS was offered a position at Kingsdale after going through the appeals process. We didn’t win the appeal but were offered a place within days of receiving the notification we were unsuccessful. However, we immediately accepted and he has had a great start to his secondary school journey. It is a great school and he is flourishing academically and socially. The school has lived up to all expectations and I would recommend highly. All the best with your choice x

@LawrenceLawrence i've just found this chat from last year and wondered how it worked out for you and your son? Did he get offered a place?

I'm about to do our application and DD also has been offered a half sports scholarship. DD is keen for Harris Bromley Girls as her first choice and Kingsdale second. Torn as to which way to place them on list... any advice would be appreciated x

My DD's friend is at Harris Bromley Girls and loves it there.

It's a safe environment and they do a residential early on in y7 which I think is excellent. They also get good results.

That said, the enrichment provision puts me off- the y7s were asked to choose which clubs they wanted to join and were only allocated one each. Seems a bit stingy, at my daughter's school they can join as many as they like and she's in one every day!
