Excellent mark, well done to DS.
Visit the schools again - that will help.
Which one is easier for your DS to travel to?

I think that's a question nobody else can answer without knowing your son. Some boys will thrive in an all male atmosphere and have the time of their lives, for others a mixed school is better. My oldest son spent a short period in a boys school and he found it too "macho" and overwhelming, but then I would describe him as quiet and geeky, good with small groups but easily overwhelmed by lots of people or noise. My middle son was equally at home just with boys or in a mixed school. I think they would achieve just about the same academically in either setting, but socially I prefer mixed, especially as they have no.sisters.

I haven't seen Watford Boys as we are out of catchment, but liked Parmiters. What view did you form at the open evenings? What did your son think?
