Graveney school 6th form- what's it like?

[Minitoots]

Our son is going into 6th form next year and we're looking at lots of schools. We saw Graveney a couple of days ago and really liked what we saw - good courses in art/DT/ drama etc which are the main subjects he's interested in. As we've only seen it on an open evening (not a regular school day) we wondered if any pupils/parents/teachers can give us any more feedback on it??

Thanks!

I don't go there but I know quite a few people who do, they really enjoy it. The music, drama and art departments are particularly strong, you can wear your own clothes (massive plus) and it seems to be a friendly and hardworking place with good A level results; I have friends who have left to go on to study at Cambridge, Bristol and York.

Also, I don't know whether you are looking at Haberdashers' but with the subjects that your son is interested in I would really not reccommend it (I know from first hand experience).

Hope this helps!

thanks for your helpful message, Anapau. We were also planning to look at Haberdashers so I'd be interested to hear a bit more about that school too - send me a PM if you prefer...
