West London Free School or Twyford for Year 7 2027 entry?

Hi all. I am in a dilemma. My youngest son has full church points and is a good candidate to get into Twyford CE Secondary school in Ealing. His older brother goes there and that was our original intention. However he recently sat the West London Free school music aptitude test and with very little preparation did very well - much better than we expected. He is “near the top of the waiting list” according to the email from WLFS and could very possibly get an offer - if not on the National Offer day, then shortly thereafter. I know the school is deemed to be a very good school and the Times has rated it highly as the best comprehensive school in their school awards and ranks it highly in their league table. But I really know little about the school whereas I am familiar with Twyford because my other son goes there. My gut is that we should stick with Twyford but WLFS has an outstanding reputation. Would be grateful for any insight from any parents out there who have been in a similar situation with both schools or who can give any advice about WLFS? Many thanks in advance.

Hi, OP. We can see you didn't get any replies when you posted in Chat this morning, so we've moved your thread to our Secondary Education board now in case anyone has anything to offer there. Good luck with your decision.
