Talk to me a bit about Berkhamsted

Post by OneSizeFitsAll »

Does anyone have much experience with Berkhamsted and can offer any advice about how well they stretch the most able pupils, and about the school in general? We're looking for a 3-year-old, and also considering St Albans High School for Girls and Habs, though as their intakes don't align with Berkhamsted's (4 for those two versus 3 for Berkhamsted) it would help to decide sooner rather than later whether to try for the latter two. So hard to really know at such a young age. Even though she seems smart and confident relative to many of her peers, who's to say if she'd end up happy in a higher pressure environment. Berkhamsted seems strong all round, is an easier journey than the other two and takes boys, which is logistically useful to us having a son too.

Would love to hear some opinions on it.
