Hi - My son has received a place for City of London and Habs at 7+. My son is very sporty, loves cricket, tennis and all outdoor sports but is also equally interested in math, DT, computing etc.
We have visited the new City Junior School campus and were not hugely impressed, though I know they are having their set up and teething issues. The teachers and staff seemed lovely. We have heard some amazing things though about the senior school and that the boys really thrive. Habs on the ohter hand, all same campus, lot of sports but very academic too and likely to be less nurturing than City. Our decision to go to City will hence be influenced by the senior school but we havent had a chance to see it yet and hence my ask here if anyone has any personal feedback or City Boys School vs Habs.
Thank you!

Math is not a subject. Maths or mathematics, thank you.

Congratulations @bstrong0805 . I'm so happy for you and your DC. You beat me to it with your thread. I was about to start one myself to enquire about City. I haven't visited the school properly yet but will attend the offer holder morning next week. I'm quite torn, we have to choose between City, Highgate and UCS. Highgate and UCS are convenient location-wise but City isn't hugely out of our way either.
Sorry to hijack your thread, I was hoping someone could shed some light on rumours that a few children are looking to leave having only started last year. It could be nothing and just that the parents want to get into WUS or SPJ. Anyone with boys at City? Are boys adapting well with teachers and in an environment which was originally a girl's school? Teaching an all girl class can be very different to teaching a mix of boys and girls. Any feedback would be much appreciated 🙏🏼.
