Ok, I'm not going to start another E v W thread but I am wobbling back and forth and the decision is imminent so I'm putting up a poll.

Feel free to add comments (please :wink: ) but saying I wouldn't send mine to any is not really beneficial!

No Herm. I need to get one from this list before even thinking about GS! :o

Tipsy - you can't decide your child's future on the basis of a poll in a forum on t'interweb, can you? :shock:

We might all be mad (well I am, anyway, I think it's my baby growing up !)

I think Gordonstoun's the place for you, you can have a little holiday in sunny Elgin :lol:

Just being silly, can't comment on any of these schools except to say we live quite near Eton, and the boys do look very different in their uniforms

I really wish my kids were thick enough to go to Gordonstoun! I know that sounds appalling but I love every aspect of Gordonstoun and I would have thrived in the outdoor lifestyle but the exam results are pretty poor. This is because 1/3 come from overseas (uber rich billionaires) and DS1 would be unhappy academically there. Ticks so many boxes apart from that though!

I'm only going to listen to the Winchester votes if there is a valid reason! :lol:

Yes, I was going to put the yawn in my post but I was waiting to see who would be rude enough to do it!
