As far as I know, my friend's daughter is now studying in the elite Westminster. So I think it is a co-ed school.

Here are some destination U of my friends’ kids. Though it is not the conclusive evidence of the academic performance of a particular boarding school, you may see that there are some linkages on the ranking of schools to their destination U.

Cambridge: Shrewsbury
London U/Imperial : Harrow, Abington, Charterhouse, Winchester, Badminton
HKU/HKUST/CUHK : Tonbridge and Badminton (All of them were admitted by Imperial but chose to come back HK)
U of Cardiff, Hull, Kent etc : Monmouth, Bromsgrove, Espom, St. Peter

I agree with you that a particular student's achievement may not give the full picture of the school concerend. In fact, Shrewsbury was not my son's priority school due to the trending down of its ranking in recent years.

For Tonbridge, Harrow, Winchester and Charterhouse, they are the elite schools and my friends highly recommend them. However, I didn't apply them for my son since they might be the wrong match with my son.

CPU, you have always given out good advice, but this time I think you have given out a very wrong message.
Out of all the schools you have mentioned this time, Shrewsbury really is close to the bottom ...
