Glendower or Falkner House - which would you choose?

Proud of daughter who has been successful in her assessment (i know, utter madness that a 3 year old can be "assessed") and offered a place at the highly coveted Glendower. We are waiting to hear from Falkner House.

I like what I've seen at both (altho Glendower seems overly academic and a touch scary!!).

Anyone have first hand experience of one or both; or know of others who attend either schools.

It's going to be a tough decision for us if she gets both offers.

Hi there, we're in the same boat!
Did you make a decision?

Not yet! Deadline's not until 4th Feb. She's on the reserve list at Falkner, deadline's not until 4th Feb. Spoke to a couple of parents with girls at Glendower and now inclined to accept Glendower rather than hold out for Falkner. What about you?

sorry been offline for a while. we accepted Glendower in the end - apparently very academic, girls are pushed hard but loving nurturing teachers and impeccably behaved kids. where is your daughter going?

Hi there, LOL heard the same thing about Falkner House so decided to send her there. Am sure it will all work out as it should in the end!
Good luck!
