Year 2017 - Nonsuch or Wallington girls
Posted: Fri Oct 27, 2017 6:31 pm
Dear parents,
I've noticed that this topic has been discussed a number of times but the last thread I saw reg this is from year 2010. I understand that the schools are merged now and also the headteacher in Nonsuch has changed since.
As of now, if distance was not an issue, which school would you ideally prefer for your daughter and why?
Can any of you comment on the pastoral care, renovated facilities, balance of academics and extra curricular activities and overall experience of being a student in both schools? DD is very much into arts, drama and dance and very average at sports. Favourite subjects are science, maths and languages. Any suggestions for us reg which one would suit her better?
One of the threads had an unanswered question - "Does Wallington make offers to only the top scorers from entrance tests?" If yes, does it mean that Wallington it is considered to be a better school and a preferred school than Nonsuch now?
Is it true that Nonsuch is basically a science school and focuses on medical science related studies whereas Wallington gives more importance to humanities?
If we are not offered a seat in our preferred school, is it something to be worried about? I.e are the two schools very different in their approach towards providing an all rounded and balanced education?
Thanks in advance for your valuable answers - I appreciate any guidance regarding my queries above!
