As well as following KenR's link you might also like to look at the independent schools

Have a look around here too.

You're probably wondering why I'm suggesting you pay £8000+?

Have a look here;

Though please remember this scale only applies to a limited number of candidates who've done exceptionally well in the entrance test.

Well worth considering, at least, I think.

Take also into consideration, from our experience, the following.

1 Travel - availabilty of public transport

2 The best KEGS from which there are 5 may not always be the one for your child, ie don't go with the mass opinion, e.g Camphill, go with your gut feelings and instinct.

3. Consider what the end of year 5 report says and grades for your child,

4 Don't put pressure on the child to work every night with 11+

5 Try, very hard though, to enjoy the whole 11+ experience and you may be superised at how well the kids will perform.

Lastly, have faith in the process.
