No idea about these. (Though they seem quite far apart?)

Is he y11 or younger?
Does he know what subjects he wants to do?
Do all 3 places offer his preferred subjects?
Are they all part of schools, or are any stand alone 6th forms?
What is the travel like to each?
Have you been to visit them?

Yes been to see them all. He is year 11 about to start 6th form in September. Yes they all offer the subjects he wants. Woking is a college the rest are part of a school. Seaford is a bit further but they offer a coach service. The rest a within 30 minutes drive from our home.

My DS was at Seaford sixth form. He has ADHD and the pastoral support was v good and support from his teachers great. He had good friends and relationships with teachers. Was also sporty - rugby one term, hockey next and then cricket or athletics or tennis. It's not compulsory I don't think. They also have golf and some other options.

Lovely school - my DS not super academic and did a couple of a levels and a BTEc. Some of his friends much more academic and will have stellar a levels and off to top unis. I like that it's v inclusive. DS really enjoyed his sixth forks years. We found the support he got invaluable as he can be rather chaotic.

A lot of year 13s board as they are in their own boarding house. But not everyone and not always all week.
