Are you completely indifferent to the coed / girls school issue? DD's teachers were very strongly of the opinion that she would be better off in a girls school at that stage. What do your DD's teachers think?
That's a very good point and I'd usually subscribe to the thought that girls will perform much better in an all girls environment. But when I compare facilities, I'd be tempted to think Highgate might still be a better option, even if it is co-ed. I just like the atmosphere there compared to CLSG. Also I get the impression that DD is one of the nerdier girls so might not be
that involved with the boys in the future and would be ok at a co-ed... (I have obviously never parented a teen!)
Haven't spoken to DDs teachers yet, and am a bit skeptical as how much their recommendation will be influenced by how much they like a school/get along with the head of a school, but I'll ask them about their opinion on the co-ed piece for DD. That will be interesting to hear.
Happy to stand corrected on everything here. Clearly I know very little.
