Kings College Wimbledon vs St Pauls Boys School London

Post by Shreyasa »

Any parents who had to make a decision in the past and choose between the 2 schools?
I have a bright boy who loves music, sport. art and is curious & enjoys learning. Would love to hear your experience and get some feedback on the 2 schools. Thanks.

Where do you live?

What would the daily travel be like to both schools?

You can't go round with either one. Both top schools for academic students. DG

Both great schools but that would swing it for me. I have heard that KCS has quite a few kids from further south towards the M25/Surrey as well, which might be inconvenient on the travelling to see friends front, depending on where you are based. Good luck.

We were in similar position last year. Both schools are great, so I think it all depends on your son's choice and travelling time, to be honest. We did not apply for St. Paul's, but declined the offer from Westminster because of the commuting and the fact he does not want to go boarding. Good luck!
