Kingston Grammar/Putney HighSchool/Godolphin/Surbiton
Yippee our clever daughter has got offers at Surbiton, Kingston Grammar school and Putney High, possibly Godolphin and Latymer as well.
Does anyone have daughters at any of these schools who can summarise their thoughts on the atmosphere,ethos etc please.How happy are the girls there?Which is the least stressful and the most fun?
We have been to see the schools and they all seem fine to us! I'm a comprehensive girl after all,and all these schools seem to have great facilities.
How do we choose when we have no instinct about a particular school whatsoever!
Any thoughts appreciated.Thanks!

goodness, htat's a big geographical spread ... my first thought is which is going to be easiest for her to get to bearing in mind she'll be doing this 5 days a week for the next 7 years
I'm a G&L alumna (us? long time since I did Latin) and thoroughly enjoyed it = in my day it was certainly the most academic of the schools you've mentioned, but not as pressured as St Paul's for example
which one does your dd prefer?

My DD goes to SHS and we're more than pleased with it - it's got a good atmosphere, gets good results with a great new head, but it's not a pressurised hothouse which is why we chose it for her (and not LEH). Having said that, when we lived in Blackheath, she went to another GDST school BHS - ie in the same group as Putney High - and I really liked that school too. If she/you liked the atmosphere at all of them - then maybe choose the nearest one?? Which is probably PHS if you're in Sheen ... just one direct bus ride away isn't it??
