Don't know huge amounts, but live close by.
Small school but is increasing in numbers. Fees lower than a lot of other private schools. Went co ed a few years ago, was just a girls school. I believe the number of boys is increasing.
A girl in DDs dance class was there for primary (left DDs primary due to welfare issues) and has stayed on for secondary. Since the elder siblings both go to a high performing local state school, they obviously must rate it, otherwise they would have moved her there too.
We looked at it as a possible, but soon discounted due to not doing German. (French and Spanish). Also being a small school, they didn't have a huge range of subject options but that may have changed as the numbers have increased.
Selective, but prides itself on the value added.
