I've replied to your query on the other page as well but in case you don't see it....
I know nothing about Magdalen other than that my friend's son went there for 6th form and loved it - but I would query how much a 10/11 year old can truly know about their likes and dislikes. My dd would have said she hated science in primary school but now, halfway through year 7, it's one of her favourite subjects. She has developed a love for it due to the amazingly enthusiastic attitude of her teacher (very different from her primary school teachers who were all rather more arts focused). I don't think it's reasonable to choose or dismiss a school at this age because of pre-conceptions about what a (still fairly young) child thinks they will enjoy.

Isn't he going to have to study science wherever he goes to school?
