Dulwich College vs. Whitgift vs. Trinity School (13+ entry)

Hello,
I’d really value insight from parents with sons at Whitgift, Dulwich College or Trinity (13+ entry).

Our son has offers from all three. Whitgift and Trinity have offered academic scholarships. All are a similar commute for us.

He is a high-ability STEM child (Maths and Science are genuine passions) and very ambitious. He isn’t sporty. He is kind and gentle by temperament and thrives in environments where effort and ability are recognised.
He responds very well to intellectual stretch but not in subjects that don’t naturally engage him. Strong pastoral care has been important in his current school.

For parents with experience of these schools:
Which offers the best balance of academic challenge and pastoral support?
How visible and meaningful are academic scholarships day-to-day?
Is there strong encouragement for STEM-focused boys who are not sporty?

Any honest insight would be hugely appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello. I’m not a parent but I do know 2 people who attended trinity and whitgift. Both are successful in their own careers and one scored the highest globally in his A level econ exam ( though this was 30 years ago or so). However, I have heard more about Dulwich College than the other 2. However, I did want to ask if you considered grammar schools at all as in the London area there are grammar schools with better results than these 3?
