tfulThank you all so much for your help and advice. I have three children and the youngest two I am not so concerned about, the younger they are the easier it is for them to adapt. From what I understand with my eldest daughter(teenagers are so hard to understand!), I feel that she would be best suited to a school that has students who are really friendly, kind, with big hearts and down to earth. Perhaps this atmosphere is more prevalent in schools where there is a lot of emphasis(as well as academic education) on spiritual values, on teaching children to be respectful, kind, compassionate, loving caring etc - keeping children grounded, friendly and though, despite their wealth. I got the impression that Saint Michaels do this when I had a quick look at their website. She wouldn't want to be with students who are arrogant, spoilt with no moral values and who put more emphasis on your wealth and status. I read some google reviews which said that Carol Morgan School is like this but I'm hoping this is not true because the facilities look really great, even the outdoor seating areas. We couldn't afford private school here in the UK as they are very expensive but for her sixth form her Grandfather will pay and he doesn't mind the price especially as my daughter had a very difficult year last year and we just want to find the schools best suited to her.
So my eldest has finished her GCSE's, and did pretty well in them, so she could get her final two years qualifications from either an English or American school (I think), it doesn't matter as long as the lessons are taught in English as my daughter doesn't speak any other language, even Spanish. Obviously education is important so I would also really like her to go to a school that has really good teachers and teaching methods and so the students enjoy the lessons and therefore school and do well because of the interesting way in which they learn. I get the impression Saint Michaels is like that, I will look at the others mentioned as well. Thank you all so much.
By the way, how do people know how good the results are from these schools? Is there any way of knowing? Is there some kind of online website that shows the results of the different schools or something?
