I had a look at their site and one thing stood out - how do you enroll your child? their site says that they are interviewing prospective 2014 year 7 students now, which for me, is pretty late in the year, especially as it sounds like they are a selective school because it cuts it pretty find to get her into any other competitive school if you don't get in at this one. So you would have to ask how many places do they have available for new students entering year 7, because you have to remember that they already have a year 6 class coming through. And then you have to ask yourself what would you do if DD didn't get a place? At DS1's school they are 100% selective and this year they had 70 students apply for 6 places in year 8 for 2014 and for the year 7's they had 120 students apply for 50 places - so would your school be a highly competitive school and hard to get into? How do you think your DD would cope with an interview process to get her into the school? And what other options do you have if she doesn't get in? It really does sound like a fantastic school though and it would suit her to a T I think, just make sure you ask those questions though when you speak with them.
