Thank you for the kind advice, High Clare generally their academics doesn’t seems to be great compared to other private schools, that’s what I heard from one of the previous students parent, my closest would be Plantsbrooks and John Wilmott school, now I have added Plantsbrook to the waiting list as well, so just waiting to hear any news from the council ....
Why not visit Highclare as word of mouth is not a reliable source. The results may not rank as highly as other independents, but if you are interested in other factors like travel (Highclare has a bus service), pastoral, extra curricular/enrichment, then you cannot go by data alone. What does your son think? He'll be spending 7 years there.
I liked Highclare when we visited and I know somebody there whose child loves it, but you need to visit yourself. For me, travel.is very important.
I think the cut off for Plantsbrook was 1.8 miles last year.
Good luck.
