I don't know if it is the office block style building, but it doesn't have much atmostphere. Most of these kids will be commuting into the City for the rest of their lives, why not give them some green spaces. Location of the playing fields is a bit off putting too.
Please can I ask where you accepted. I am looking at boys school for my son. I have not seen city boys, I saw the girls. We did not like it, so we did not sit the exams. Thanks
