Help me choose please: Latymer Upper VS Upton Court Grammer School

[Hbs2ndstage]

Hello All,
Which one would you choose please?

90% Bursary at LU vs Upton Court Grammer School.

Any insights please...

How far are you from both schools?

Can I also please ask what your child score in Slough Grammar school test?

Same distance to both schools.
Slough score was 135

Latymer Upper is the clear choice, except if the travel time is much more.

I have never heard of Upton Grammar but Latymer Upper has rave reviews

There is a big difference between Upton Court GS and Latymer Upper, in terms of quality of education, academic performance, facilities, reputation and if you have a bursary from Latymer Upper, then it should be an obvious choice.

In waiting list for HBS now..

Pretty sure she will get that.

So HBS vs Latymer upper at 90% bursary please.
This choice is harder

what waitlist your child is? do you know when they start offering for waiting list?

In 30s
They will let us know 28th Marxh but historically 30s get cleared near July..

Leaning more towards LU for the time being. What's your WL number

Have you not had to accept the LU offer by now

Yes but we can still choose HBS till September

@Hbs2ndstage , I know you have a 90% bursary at LU but you need to really check the small print and make sure that if you decline the place after the first day of the summer term (mid April) that it won't revert to you owing more than 10% of the autumn term fees. For full fees paying parents generally if they decline a place after the last day of the Easter Holidays then they pay the autumn term fees in full. This is because you have to give 1 terms notice to leave a private school, it's standard practice and is implemented sector wide, (otherwise it's impossible for schools to plan and commit to teaching budgets).
