Aldenham Preparatory & Other Non Selective
I have my daughter who is 5+ and seems to be struggling in a state school with her reading, spellings and maths behind her peers. I am now looking for a school in Hertfordshire preferrably offering financial help and commutable from St Albans . I have read good reviws about Aldenham and St Johns Preparatory in Potters Bar and would like more info on them?

My son goes to Aldenham Senior school, having started in Y7. I really wish we had known how brilliant some prep schools are and how much more he could have learned at primary school.
Aldenham prep is a brand new building and got a very good Ofsted report recently I believe. The whole Aldenham community is very caring and nurturing environment, I would definitely arrange a visit.

Stormont School Potters Bar
Have you considered Stormont School in Potters Bar? We had never heard of it until my dd started doing entrance exams back in November. Then we kept seeing this same uniform again and again in all her exams and then again in the interviews. Curious I went to look at the website and was impressed to read about Y5 and Y6 being taught by specialist teachers instead of a form teacher. It also says that every girl in 2009 got into her first place school which is very impressive seeing as we saw loads of them at DAO, Habs and City which are all entrance exam schools that turn down lots of children.

I second 'fairydust' dont go anywhere near St John prep! Way too many horror stories.
