Hi,
I want my daughter there as well and I found out that the school is specialised in Science and Language.

Last 1973 - Are you considering for 2015 entry or 2016?

Have you not visited the school during the open days in October?

Local feedback from parents I know with children there is that it's a good school, very relaxed and the girls seem to perform well there. The exam results have not been as high as Wilmington or Dartford (historically) but not that far behind. You also have to put the results into context as the school is not selective and is often undersubscribed.

I was quite impressed by the artwork on display when I went, but dont take that as a recomendation.

What other options do you have?

A 'super-selective' is a school which allocates places solely in rank order of score in an entrance test, without regard to place of residence, sibship (is that the word I mean?) etc.
