Our daughter went from dreading Monday to asking whether she could stay late for orchestra. Her teacher knew her properly inside a fortnight.
We were told plainly which senior schools would suit our son and which would not. That honesty saved us a year of guessing.
He came in with almost no English in Year 3. By Year 5 he was reading to the younger ones. Nobody made a fuss about it, they just did the work.
The open morning was the thing that decided it. No presentation, no brochure, we simply spent an hour in the classrooms.

Questions parents ask
Three a year, in October, February and May. If none of those dates work, the registrar will show you round on an ordinary school day, which is the better visit anyway.
Sixteen is the cap and fourteen is the average. Counting teaching assistants and specialists, there is one adult to every eight children across the school.
Lunch, books, stationery, day trips and most after-school clubs. There is no registration fee. Residentials, instrumental lessons and school uniform are charged separately.
Yes. About one child in nine holds a means-tested bursary worth between ten and one hundred per cent of the fee. Applications open in the October before entry.
