Its honestly a tough decision, what factors are you weighing up?

for me personally is:

Westminster: bigger reputations, possibly better resources and chances of getting into a better university, more people with a higher background, more competitive, possibly teaches the content for subjects in more depths?, Saturday school
Latymer: distance from my house, no Saturday school, less competitive, more people in different backgrounds, maybe a friendlier environment

this is just what I think personally because to be honest I don't even know much about the two schools

For me Westminster- better at Oxbridge, near central london, choir in abbey, larger year group, able to study 4+, easier to get involved in sports
But- Saturday schools uniform, I’ve heard less good things about students, not all teachers seemed amazing,
Latymer- day school, no uniform, closer to my house, less stressful, shorter days+ no Saturday school, more variation of people, people seem really nice
But- less good at Oxbridge, latymer electives not 4 a levels, join year group in a smaller group

That's pretty much the same as mine, I confirmed Westminster though because I just thought that I'll have better chances at Oxbridge and the school is just a bit fancier

To me, the ppl at Latymer seem nicer and the school looks less competitive and seems like a healthier environment to learn in.

On the other hand tho, I’ve heard Westminster is quite an academically stimulating environment and u would be well supported for uni applications.

However, although Westminster is a great school with an interesting history and amazing results, that cud also be because it kind of just picks people with Oxbridge potential, so going to another school doesn’t exactly change that potential for u. If ur a good student u will do well anywhere. I’ve also heard the ppl at Westminster r kind of entitled and snobbish and not all the teachers are great but idk abt that.

Either way there are pros and cons for both so it just depends on what kind of experience u want for the last 2 yrs of school.

What did you end up choosing? I had the same decision and ultimately ended up going to latymer because of the better social life and lack of saturday school.
