"Do NOT send your child to the senior school."

I had been at this school since year 3 and left in year 7. The prep school was incredible, the year group was so small it was difficult to not get along with each other because you had your form for all your lessons. It was brilliant up until year 7 (the senior school). As soon as I joined everything went downhill, my best friend ever since I joined ended their life (this is no joke) due to the lack of respect from other pupils and teachers. I couldn't describe to you how much I cared for her and for her to just disappear and never be seen again one day is a feeling I hope nobody has to feel. Even all these years later (I'm now a year 11) I'm still massively affected and always find myself spiralling into the horrible days I promised I would never go back to. If you want to send your child to the prep school, I encourage it. If you want to send them to the senior school, don't even consider it an option.
