To determine which is better *for a specific student*, you need to consider factors like:
* Academic focus: Do they emphasize particular subjects? What are their strengths in academic programs (e.g., STEM, humanities)? Look at their curriculum offerings, teacher qualifications, and academic results.
* School culture and environment: Is one school more academically rigorous? Is one more focused on pastoral care and student wellbeing? What is the school's size and atmosphere (e.g., competitive, collaborative)? Visit both schools if possible to get a feel for the atmosphere.
* Extracurricular activities: What clubs, sports, and other activities are available? Which school offers opportunities that align with the student's interests and talents?
* Religious affiliation: All Hallows' is a Catholic school; consider if this aligns with your family's values. Stuartholme is also a Catholic school but may have slightly different religious aspects in its daily life and curriculum.
* Location and facilities: Consider the proximity to home, transport options, and the quality of the school facilities.
* Fees and financial aid: Compare the tuition fees and any financial aid opportunities available.
In short, research both schools thoroughly using their websites, prospectuses, and by potentially visiting them. Talk to current students and parents to gain diverse perspectives. Then, weigh the factors above to determine which school is the best fit for the individual student.
