St Helens Year 7 Entry

[mavebu]

Hi
This is a difficult subject to raise, but can anyone comment on the ethnic mix at St Helens Northwood?

We attended the evening session for prospective pupils and there were 5 white girls with the remainder asian/black.

We prefer a school with a more even mix rather than balanced with either too many white or too many asian/black....

Living in London, one would expect a mix which we believe our DD would benefit from, but with such a high balance this would maybe be not the best option......

Hi I have sent you a pm.

Have just seen this thread on mumsnet which might interest you:

thanks for the reply.

the mumsnet link is useful - it refers to the Reception rather than 11+ entry - but I suppose it has relevance with later year entry
