IB Schools near Kingston-Advice

[DezBoro]

Good morning. I have been advised to post here!

Hi all,
I am completely brand new to MN! I just signed up as I was browsing the online community for advice on International Schools near London. We are moving over in the next few months from the Middle East. My daughter is very sporty and will be 15 when we arrive. She has been following the IB curriculum at her current school. I am a Brit and went to a state school in the UK, so I know the GCSE/A-Level very well! She is also super sporty, playing hockey and tennis.
However, she will likely be too late to enter a GCSE year. We are also considering possible boarding schools.
My family is near Kingston, so I'm looking to move back to the area. So far, I know of these schools. Any advice would be great!
ACS in Cobham
Marymount
TASIS
ACS in Egham
I have visited ACS Cobham many times for sporting events and was always impressed with their facilities. This is the one is am erring too due to familiarity and also going to school nearby myself.
Does anyone know anything about the fee increase at ACS?
Anyway, thanks in advance!!!

KCS offers the IB at sixth form but it's very academic. You need to be a straight 9 x 9 GCSEs candidate to get in.

It is very academic but there are lots who join sixth form without all 9s in GCSEs

We know a girl who was turned down this summer as she didn't achieve required grades. I'm not sure what was missing but she'd expected all 9s so we assumed that there was one or two not quite there.

What is the lowest marks you've heard?

There may also be some bearing on which subjects you choose to take also. I would imagine STEM would be very high offering, while Arts subjects less so. A bit like Tiffin boys. All the STEM subjects are already full at A level or close to full with their existing cohort of boys.

I imagine if you get a 7 in maths for example and want to do maths A level it's not going to happen but certainly some of DCs friends have 7s and the odd 6 in subjects they weren't doing A levels in.

Thank you all.

We are going to go ahead with ACS Cobham!
