11 plus offers choice

looking for people's opinions on secondary schools for my 11 year old girl who got offers at Habs Girls, St Albans and Putney high, as we were considering moving to SW London although sitting on the fence now.
She also got Francis Holland RP and Channing and is waitlisted for Highgate.
She is a well balanced mature calm child, avid reader and super kind and academically hard working but not nerdy. Vert arty and creative😍
Any thoughts?

Is she sporty and is desperate to play lacrosse / learn to row? If the answer is no then don't move for PHS. Otherwise which is the nearest and which is her favourite?

sporty yes I wouldn't say desperate. more of a balanced, arty, avid reader. can't make up her mind on which school she likes, says she likes them all

She sounds like a wonderful young girl. My daughter is almost 9 years old in year 4 and already getting anxious for the 11 plus and the school she will go to! I’ve decided to let her make the decision on where she wants to go and we’ll go from there!

Katcoop, your dd needs to be guided on this. You need to make the decision on schools she goes for and then she can make the final selection. She is too young to do properly go through each school looking at the fine details (travel, costs, sports offered, ethos, academics etc). Also, you need to guide her to schools within her range academically. We selected 4 schools for my dd that we liked, she got offers to all and we let her make the final decision. But we of course helped her go through the pros and cons for the schools.
