I am considering Dauntsey's for my son after his IGSCEs which will be this time next year - we are British expats.
My main concern is whether there are sufficient numbers of full time boarders in 6th form to keep him company out of school hours, or do most of them disappear home at evenings and weekends? What is the mix of nationalities like in 6th form?
How much freedom to socialise and do all the stuff that 16-18 year olds like to do at weekends? Can they go out alone without a pass, or do they have to do everything en masse like the younger seniors? He hasn't boarded before so I want to make sure we know what to expect.
I am trying to arrange a visit when I get back to the UK shortly but it's a bit tight before the end of term so I am not sure it will happen.
Has anyone had any experience of their Skype interviews?
TIA.
