Hi. I have a child in a local prep school (not BCS prep), and its coming around to the time when I need to start looking a secondary schools. Ive heard really mixed things about BCS senior - some parents seem to really rate it whilst others really dont like it. Also, considering they're a independent school, their academic track record is atrocious.

Does anyone have any recent experience of the school? Why are its academics poor? All opinions welcome 🙂
