Teddington School vs Coombe Girls

Hi. We are currently weighing up Teddington School vs Coombe Girls for our daughter next year. Having been fairly set on Coombe Girls, we looked around Teddington and were impressed. We would be really grateful for some feedback from any of you with children at Teddington. We got the impression that it is on the up and liked the headteacher. One question we have is over sets . We were concerned that Coombe doesn’t seem to set except for maths whereas Teddington does. Any feedback would be most welcome. Thank you.

there are no sets for PE unless you’re doing btec sport or gcse PE in years 10 and 11.

there are sets for languages from year 7 to year 11 (consisting of 4 sets from 7 to 9, and 2 in gcse years).

there are 5 sets for maths from year 7.

Thank you v for the info. Do they also set for English do you know?

Teddington may be bad but their GCSE grades last year were better than Coombe girls school. Coombe girls is definitely on a downward spiral especially with an incredibly weak Head teacher. I have a daughter at the school unfortunately. Be prepared to give them a lot of support.

All schools are suffering at the moment due to underfunding and low staff morale. Even the most popular schools are finding it difficult to recruit staff.
