As no-one has anything to say I'll give you my limited information.
Son's prep play sport against Tower House, parents and boys always seem very,very nice. There are always jokes about the carpark when we play TH as they do seem to drive very expensive cars, but only a small minority pick up from the sports ground so this may not be reflective of all parents. I would also say that the people making the jokes may drive smallish cars, but they mostly live in £3m+ houses in Richmond.
AT the open day I would ask for last years Y8 leavers list to see where the boys went onto, do not accept a general oh they went to the usual schools, ask to see a list. I would expect at least the top third to have gone to St Pauls/Westminster/Kings College as these are the hardest to get into local senior schools. If they are only getting a few into these schools you may want to ask why, and then look to see where the remaining boys go.
Good Luck at the open day, ask lots of questions thats what its about.
