Just do your research and compare before you accept the first place you see.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"The school itself seeemd nice and the staff very welcoming.\nHowever - my concern is the school is marketed as non selective when this is not strictly the case. My child was invited for 2 days which she really enjoyed, was put through various tests and then I was told she fell short of the admission standard. Needless to say she was disappointed and I felt bad for putting her through it and giving her false hope.\nIf the school wishes to select children of a certain ability that's OK. Its normal in many schools. However I do feel misled. I believed the tests to be a way to identify her strengths and areas for development, not to be used as a deciding factor for admission. 18 months on from this review and I wanted to advise those considering Webber to look around other schools too. Webber was our first and now I have more experience, I can see how tatty and under subscribed it is in comparison. Honestly this is not sour grapes!
