Town v Country - the teenage years
Further information:
Would your teenager thrive better in a city or country school? Heads of five city and country schools interview their teenaged pupils to help you decide whether your child would suit a rural or urban education. There will be an extended Q&A where parents can directly question heads and pupils.
Featuring: Marlborough, Sherborne, Francis Holland, Reddam House, & Fulham School.
Post-lockdown many London families are reconsidering whether a city or country school would best suit their child. London has some of the world’s most academic independent schools, and children growing up in the capital enjoy extraordinary access to the city’s rich cultural diversity. But outside the city, there are independent schools with acres of space, superb facilities, extended days and offering all the holistic benefits of residential education.
