Well very good academic results obviously. My preference would be a mxied school eg Alleyns but, of course their results are not as good. I have tried to get them to split them out to show whether their GIRLS do just as well as JAGS but they seem strangely unable to do so. This leads me to think (a) they don't want to so maybe the results are consistently not great or (b) their business development people are lazy, which smacks of lack of ambition for the school. Either turns me off and propels me back to JAGS.


I'd be interested to hear from anyone - do please pm if preferred - whose daughter got in but chose not to take up the place and why. I am probably less interested in hearing the views of anyone whose child failed to get in as parental bias is inevitable.

results arent everything.Just hang around outside each schhol each day and see what comes out, then think which would suit your daughter.Dont just notice the loud girls- look at the quieter ones girls too- there are some. All girls schools have more than average anerexia/bulemia problems.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
