Difficult decision to make for daughter’s 11+.

She is currently attending a coed state school. a balanced girl but not competitive. Tends to get worried about minor things…

Hard to resist scholarships from Colfe’s and Blackheath but ranking wise the other two win. I really liked Highgate but commute is about an hour and it’s very expensive. Heard Colfe’s may put kids into different classes depending on their academic performance. Anyone knows? Thanks!

The new head is coming from my son's school. He is absolutely excellent and I'm sorry he's leaving us (but clearly a great move for him).

That’s so reassuring to hear. His previous school looked incredible (from their website and reviews) so I thought he must be good!

The outgoing head at Colfe’s has an amazing reputation and the Governors have clearly chosen an excellent & very accomplished successor (just looked up his academic and career credentials). What this shows is a very well governed school so I am sure you are in safe hands OP. Leadership and governance absolutely matter, they are fundamental.
