Muddy Stilettos' Mar 2019 review

https://herts.muddystilettos.co.uk/kids/school-reviews/st-francis-college-letchworth/

THE MUDDY VERDICT

GOOD FOR: Girls who thrive in a nurturing, all-female environment where they can relax completely. There’s a very strong sense that you be able to be yourself and be silly and playful without feeling under pressure to grow up too quickly. If you’re looking for continuity – the fact that you can start in nursery and be here until sixth form is a winner.

NOT FOR: There’s no IB here, if that floats your boat. And 8 acres, though verdant, is a more limited outside space than some competitor schools.

謝謝你的意見, 咁如果一家人過去, 係咪讀STATE SCHOOL更好, 因為呢間INDEPENDENT SCHOOL又貴, 成績又不是太突出

For day school, I would prefer this to a general state school.

I think this school, ranking top 100 GCSE results, is much better than an average state school.

佢本身算中小型學校，英國本地生為主，當然也有內地、香港人，有其他海外生但不多。我見zoom上課時大家部分老師都不錯，有個別一個老師麻麻，但我諗間間學校都會有這些個別老師。SFC並非很top , 但我見有些師姐也很出色，今年已有兩三個Cambridge offers。Overall 我是滿意的。
