Has anyone done the Wetherby → Sussex House jump in Year 3?

Considering the move for September. Curious how the transition went socially, and whether the 8+ assessment was a genuine evaluation.

Garden House to senior — are we leaving it too late at Year 6?

Most of DD's class registered for senior schools in Year 3. We didn't. Now in Year 6 and wondering whether the door has effectively closed on the top tier.

13+ vs 11+ exit from prep — does the maths actually work?

Trying to model the maths: stay until 13+ at a slightly stronger range of schools, vs leave at 11+ now and start senior sooner.

Late prep moves in Year 7 — is it ever the right call?

Our daughter is thriving but not stretched. Considering a move mid-prep. Experienced parents: when does this work?
