Kendrick - worth the effort for a girl from Maidenhead?
Posted: Mon Jan 11, 2010 4:55 pm
Am just starting to think about secondary schools for DD who is in Year 5.
She is a very academic girl so was thinking about going private maybe. However we would love not to have to!! Kendrick looks so strong on paper but we live in Maidenhead and I'm a bit put off by the fact that I know absolutely no one who sends their girls there from this side of Reading. Tried to look round last September but they wouldn't even think of letting us look round til DD is in Year 6 which also put me off as I'm the type of person who likes to look round a school lots before I make a decision. Also thought it whiffed a bit of a school that thinks it doesn't have to try hard because it's so popular. But its results are stellar and it's free (except for our taxes of course) so would love to hear what people think generally as they won't let us in to see the place before September and also is there a Maidenhead contingent both for travel and friends for DD?
