Try Wetherby Pembridge or stay with Emanuel?

[Mulberry24]

Having just returned from an “information” event, I am unsure about Wetherby Pembridge and wondered what others thought about this new co-Ed? Worth it, or should I stay with Emanuel? The facilities and proximity to home are attractive but can I put my trust in a school with no track record?

No track record would be a concern and you be paying fees plus VAT. Assuming GCSEs, Alevels or US universities, it seems very tricky about risk ratio. Same issue being talked about for Thomas Senior. The secondary school is so important, unless DC is unhappy. Also, it is near St. James Girls and there are not much sport grounds around there, would it involve travel time?

@Mulberry24 by staying with Emanuel, do you mean your DC is currently at the school? If so, the key issue is what are the reasons for leaving and whether you think that Wetherby Pembroke can do better on those dimensions.
