GOODENOUGH COLLEGE PARENTS' HANDBOOK

Having gone through the effort of getting your application in online the rules in England state that
your application cannot be activated until you are a resident in London with proof of address. You
can send a letter supporting your application from college stating that you plan to live at
Goodenough which helps but they still won’t activate it till you are actually living here. Despite
this, it would be advisable to go through the process and have the forms and contacts completed
in time as you are at least known to them. As a result it’s easier when you do arrive.
Apparently, many high schools in London are ‘rough and tough’ and so it is important to get these
options correct. Look at the Good Schools Guide online www.goodschoolsguide.co.uk . For Girls,
based on discussions with other parents and educationalists the following schools stand out as
having a good reputation in/close to our area:
20/26
1. St Marylebone – they have an entrance exam in December in order to ascertain
academic ability. If you are not in the country for this then supply as many supporting
documents to display your child’s ability
2. Camden School for Girls
3. Gray Coats Hospital
4. Le Sante Union
City of London Girls School is a private school with a very good reputation. They too have
entrance exams. You can apply for your daughter to sit this exam in your own respective country.
