St George's Windsor Prep School versus others? Anyone have any experience or input?

I know they do the 13 plus and I have been looking at similar schools such as Danes Hill in Oxshot and Felton Fleet, Cobham also. If anyone has experience of the advantages of one of these schools over the other I'd be grateful? My son is not particularly academic but, a great sports lover. I want him to have a good education but not join some hot house school where academic success is the be all and end all.

So he would be going into year 6. I think the first thing you need to do is see where has space as it isn't a normal year for moving. St George's is non selective and quite sporty (has fab sports facilities) but depending on the sport there may be other more sporty schools. It seems pretty nurturing and definitely not hot housing but does get good results for senior schools.
