Woldingham - any first hand experiences?
Discussion
We're looking at the senior school for our daughters (currently aged 9 and 7) for 11+ entry.
We had a fairly clear idea of what we were looking for - London day school or Home Counties weekly boarding for bright but not brilliant girls (think top half of the class, rather than top of the class) with a fairly wide range of sporting/non academic interests.
The Headmistress of their prep school agreed with our choices but also threw Woldingham into the mix. We weren't keen as we didn't think it academically strong enough but she said that it has changed a lot under the new head and that, if she were us, we should at least have a look.
We went to the open day yesterday and really, really liked it. Problem is, not having considered it until very recently, we have done next to no research!
Any current/recent parents who could share a view?
