Hello,
I’d really value insight from parents with sons at Whitgift, Dulwich College or Trinity (13+ entry).
Our son has offers from all three. Whitgift and Trinity have offered academic scholarships. All are a similar commute for us.
He is a high-ability STEM child (Maths and Science are genuine passions) and very ambitious. He isn’t sporty. He is kind and gentle by temperament and thrives in environments where effort and ability are recognised.
He responds very well to intellectual stretch but not in subjects that don’t naturally engage him. Strong pastoral care has been important in his current school.
For parents with experience of these schools:
- Which offers the best balance of academic challenge and pastoral support?
- How visible and meaningful are academic scholarships day-to-day?
- Is there strong encouragement for STEM-focused boys who are not sporty?
Any honest insight would be hugely appreciated.
Thank you.
