Kew House Or St Benedict's?

Hi All, We need to decide this week about either of these schools. I've read some previous negative posts ( a few years ago) about Kew House on here, but I heard good things from current parents recently. We liked both schools, but St Ben's seems a bit more academic and has considerably lower fees. On the negative side, it seems stricter, and I'm not sure my son -mildly dyslexic would thrive. I am veering towards St Ben's, though. Would love to hear others' views who know of both :)

Hi. You are on the wrong board. I suggest you ask to have this moved.

Hi OP. We've moved this thread over to Secondary Education for you now.

I don’t have first hand experience but we have friends at Bennies who are very happy. One family has their year 7 there and are hoping to send their younger SEN child who is dyslexic and the school seem open to this. I think there is some kind of Saturday morning commitment for sports so that’s worth clarifying if that would be a dealbreaker for you.

Thankyou great info.
