King's Maths School vs Westminster school for 6th form (A levels)

hi All, Currently at Westminster school and got the offer to Kings maths school (for 2025 entry). planning to join Kings as I am more interested in maths. if anybody moved from Westminster to Kings, I need advise like,
- Westminster is generally good for support in terms of personal statement and university application process
how is that at Kings maths school (in terms of preparing for maths tests (STEP/MAT/TMUA) and supporting personal statement preparation & university application process)?
Many thanks.

sorry I am not in contact with them
hey there, not sure I can help with you with your specific case but I am also got an offer for kclms this year (2025 sep) and I have heard good things about it.

I have a friend's friend who goes to kclms (currently in y12) and he says that they do daily and weekly uni admission Q's and I am assuming that this includes the MAT and the STEP.

Also, on their website, it states the following:

An optional weekly university preparation session in which students are supported to prepare for various extension papers (PAT, MAT, TMUA, CSAT, STEP, AEA etc)

The horizons programme will probably clear up doubts in many people's minds (including mine)
I know that you current school is excellent at these as-well but at the end of the day, it is your choice to make, Hope this has been helpful.
