WHS, JAGS or South Hampstead High School 6th form

Would really appreciate some advice on these three. I posted earlier as we were having a dilemma for DD between Wimbledon and JAGS. Now South Hampstead have offered her a place off the waiting list. We have by now accepted JAGS (DD was attracted by a seemingly better provision for aspiring Medics there) but SHHS are now making us think again. I am very aware they are all great school and strong academically but any insights on any aspects of them that are worth considering would be so gratefully received. I guess we are least familiar with SHHS so thank you so much in advance for any help here.

SHHS has a new Head. JAGS heard good things for aspiring Medics. No inside knowledge of the schools but friends with kids in all 3 schools.

Thank you! I had not realised about the Head change at SHHS. Will research! I suppose i would love to hear if someone thinks that SHHS is sufficiently better for us to switch from JAGS to, given the fact that fees will probably be payable at this point. I realise i am probably over complicating everything but also heard on these threads about the ‘toxic’ atmosphere at JAGS and have also heard SHHS is fantastic at pastoral care. Again really trying to gauge if there is sufficient difference for us to make a move worthwhile at this stage

I would see which schools send more to the medic route without insider knowledge. More STEM universities courses over the last 7 years.
