Which UK boarding school?

My daugter is going to UK for year 9 in the coming September.  We are considering the following schools.  Would you please advise on the preference ranking?

Headington
Woldingham
Queenswood
Lancing

Thank you.

Thanks for your advice.

In fact, I have got the offer from Lancing and Woldingham and are expecting the results from Headington and Queenswood.  

My daughter prefers Headington because her schoolmate also applys for this school.

By the way, can you advise why Queenswood ranks ahead of Woldingham?

Thanks

Lancing is a co-ed school whereas the other three schools are all girls' schools.
Lancing is famous and has a strong tradition and academic record.
Among the girls' schools, Headington is better known and is close to the temple of academic learning - Oxford.
If you want your daughter to study well, Headington is not a bad choice.
If you want your daughter to have experience with boys, Lancing is in a romantic location.

Lancing is a much better all round school.

其實yr 9唔使太擔心英文追唔上,因為香港學生基本訓練夠,yr 既野唔深,半年左右,d細路已經完全掌握到英文

Totally agree with joenjac!

I would rather prepare my kid to face the new life in UK boarding school.
