Very well said Ladymuck.
That is also I am arguing with my friends why Tiffin Girls and HBS are consistently top the league tables. Of course they are great schools, but also they have best pupil in UK (no catchment). Now Tiffin Girls have the new designated area restriction so lets see how it impact the GCSE results when the first local batch take the exams.

After a point, league tables are of no use. IMO, there would hardly be a difference in children's ability in schools scoring 1000 to 1200 points. I also think that Nonsuch or Wallington will do as good as TGS in the exam results, but other factors (after school clubs, extra-curricular activities, lectures, and shorter journey) are also very important consideration while choosing the appropriate school for DC. Keep DC in mind and choose the best fit. I am also told that exam result wise the 'grammar section' (i.e the top set) of our local girls comprehensive has as good results as any grammar school. I do hope that these children are appropriately guided and helped for University admissions.

Can anybody advise, maybe parents of existing students of Nonsuch, if there are enough after school clubs/activities over the week, once school lessons are finished?

You have probably already seen it, but there is an "extra curricular programme " on the Nonsuch web site.

Well on Tiffin Girls webpage there is an "extra curricular programme " but it really differs from reality...
Can anybody please tell how many languages girls have to learn at Nonsuch?

Ela, would love to know the reality; in particular do they have the debating club or regular lectures / presentations by external speakers?

[Ela]

I don't know about the debating club. Last year it ran for a term I think. There are clubs which run, but are not on the 'paper' and there clubs which are only on the paper and teachers pull funny faces when are asked about them Actually, I am going to ask tonight about some of those clubs. Again.

Is it open day or tour tonight? New parents day?

Parents evening.

We should keep on the topic though... Nonsuch, Wallington matters
