Hi,

I am new to the site.

Today we have 2 offers:
Eltham College - fee paying
Colfes - 10% scholarship

I wonder which is the better school? Eltham Head told us that DS came top 20 in the exams, and then he went on about Scholarship schemes, but we didn't receive a scholarship offer today :(

Thank you for any advice you may give.

Eltham is stronger for an academic point of view. The scholarship is quite low and as such I would suggest Eltham unless you prefer Colfes for the distance or due to the fact it is a mixed school.

Thank you Lefol. I have read previous posts which indicated that Eltham is stronger, but that was a few years ago I think. I wondered if things have changed since then.

We are still waiting for answers from City and Forest, but if we don't receive any more offers, we will definitely choose Eltham.

Thanks again.
