I don’t know much about the Holt in terms of sixth form as such. We looked at it briefly but at the time it seemed like they didn’t take on very many extra for sixth form so the chances of getting a place were slim to none for DD. I’m not sure if that has changed. Tbh DD wasn’t keen on moving anywhere else for sixth form anyway, she wanted to stay at Kendrick.
Kendrick take on a substantial number for sixth form so those joining are not in a small minority by any means and the school do their best to make sure the new girls feel integrated as quickly as possible. DD made friends with several new girls.
DD got plenty of support for the UCAS. They seem pretty good/realistic with predicted grades. They warn parents they won’t bow to any pressure to up predicted grades just so girls can get uni offers. They want the unis to see their predicted grades in a good light. Most teachers are easily accessible. They encourage girls to get involved with all aspects of school life, like music, sport, drama, form prefects for younger years etc. DD was a school student librarian.
We found the pastoral support was good too.
