All 3 are great schools - which did your dd prefer when she visited them?
Wycombe to Kendrick would be the most awful journey - definitely not one to do for 7 years as a child! I wouldn’t do Marlow to Reading daily as an adult!!
If you live in Wycombe I would choose WHS - it’s the closest and would give your dd the best quality of life.
Thank you. She preferred Kendrick only because it has 96 per year group so half the size of the other 2.
It may be a small year group, but it does have large class sizes in the lower years (32 in years 7-9 for most subjects).
Whilst DD also liked it due to the small school size, but we wouldn’t have even considered it if it was going to be a hideous journey. She has a short bus ride to school (on public transport) but could walk it and sometimes does.
Even now as we look at possible plan B sixth form choices, some possibles have been completely discounted because they are a pain to get to.
