Hi everyone. We very luckily have an offer at Highgate for 11+ and are struggling to choose between it and UCS. Some of the facilities in the older part of the school are a bit tatty and they don't have snazzy 6th form facilities like UCS does, but they are working on planning permission in to do extensive works that would really bring the facilities up to scratch. The issue is how long it will take to get approval, and then how long it would take to do the works, and what the disruption would be for the kids in the meantime.
Does anyone have any knowledge of the situation, or any experience of what it was like for the children when they re-did the junior school? If the building works are going to last for most of my DS's time at school and they're put in temporary classrooms then it's a definite issue...
