Hello everyone,
we have moved to London in September 2023 and my kids attend a state school in central London. Since my daughter is in year 6 we directly jumped into the secondary school hunting right away. We live very close to Lady Margaret School - which is our top school on our application list. We did not feel good about other state schools in the area. So we had a back up plan to see some Independent schools in the area. We did not want to stress our daughter with tests etc right away after moving to a new country and new school system and English is a second language for her. So we only contacted schools in january 24 and only 2 of them had availabilities. She currently received an offer at St.James Senior Girls school and we are a bit puzzled which one to choose if we get into Lady Margaret School or not. Which option would be better? We really like the fact that st james has a really small class size where she can get more focuses attention whereas LMS seems to be better academically but is that going to be same since she is not a native english speaker who only went to school in the UK for a year. Please let me know of your thoughts that would be very helpful. Thanks in advance
