Re: Herschel Grammar vs Burnham Grammar
Have you visited them both? Only you can really decide. For what it's worth, I have 2 DCs at BGS and am about to send the third. Overall, we are very pleased with it. Of course there are some negatives, there will be at every school. Some of the supply teachers they use aren't brilliant and if drama is important to your DC, forget it, or do it out of school. My impression is that it isn't a very sporty school, but maybe those with sporty children would disagree. The teachers are very approachable and one of the big positives for me is that if you have any concerns they are very happy to discuss them honestly and openly and to address the problems. They deal with bullying swiftly and effectively. I love the multi-cultural aspects of it. Please pm me if you have any specific questions.
