Just that really. We love the school and are thrilled DS got in, just wondered if there was anyone else locally (it seems to be mainly Wimbledon and Sutton kids so far, and one boy in Penge!)


Would love to hear how your boys are enjoying school - 1st choice was St Olave's, which we know a bit more about.


Thanks.

My son went to St Olave's but his best mate went to Wilson's and both boys had a choice over which one to go to. There's very little between them academically and socially - both great schools. One thing we noticed is that Wilson's pushes the boys a lot more re homework, etc. St Olave's seems to think if you're there, you need very little pushing and will achieve top marks regardless courtesy of your own efforts and ambition. My son's a lazy sod and could have done with more hoofing up his bahookie and more homework from day 1.


If your son is into footy Wilson's the better choice - St O's doesn't do footy really till the 6th form - but the journey to Wilson's can be quite long from our parts of South London (I live in Penge). Ultimately, your boy's done incredibly well and it won't make a lot of difference.
