Hi all
We have received a place at Marylebone school for girls and are thinking whether to accept it. Two points that make me hesitate: (a) we are not Christians, and it’s a bit of a stretch for us. We are not religious, but our faith is very important to me and I would not enter a church except some very special occasions. Marylebone was super considerate to us already, which made me apply in the first place, but I would like to get some insights on how religious or not religious it is; (b) DD is an end of August baby, and we were planning to try out for a top independent academic school next year. Starting year 7 now would deprive us of that chance. DD is not a super academic person, but she is a late bloomer and very hard working, so I thought she should at least give it a try. I do want to give her the best education to the extent I can.
DD is somewhat talented in performing arts (dance, drama, art), and her coach strongly recommended us considering Sylvia Young to develop her potential. I understand that Marylebone is a good alternative to a performing arts school, but again, I am not convinced that it is the right path compared to an academic route.
