Id love to hear any current opinions on these schools and how they compare. Especially in terms of the school culture.

Child in SeniorSt Dunstan's has really changed and not for the better. It's become a business, obsessed with position on league tables and children are seen as commodities to achieve this. Ie not on track they are made to leave, not allowed on school trips unless they reach certain grades and told not allowed to do certain subjects even if needed for uni courses if predictions don't meet the grade they want to see... That is how they are increasing grades not adding value themselves just getting rid of kids that may affect their league table position. Key focus putting entries together for awards too, marketing an ethos that no longer exists..It really has changed not nurturing at all. Junior school also awful safeguarding approach.
