Never ask a child IF they need the loo... moodlum

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

Do you live in Oxford?

Do you actually need to be in Oxford itself? Cherwell is North Oxford which I think is quite expensive ie probably more than £400k for a house. There are good schools in towns/villages fairly close to Oxford eg. marlbrough in Woodstock (my local school) and Bartholomew in Eynsham. Not sure about schools south of the city.
Cherwell don't have a uniform which would drive me completely potty!

I have just moved her in February. Te secondary schools are mixed I think. We are quite near Cherwell (in Marston) which is a good state scondary school I believe. Also matthew Arnold in Botley (used to be bad I;ve heard but is much improved I believe) Botley isn't too expensive for Oxford either.

Come and tell me about the secondaries - are there many good state secondaries? Is it prohibitively expensive (houses more than 400k?) to live close enough to them to get in?
TIA
