Happy New Year!

We are moving to Carshalton in the next couple of weeks and have accepted a place at Stanley Park Infants School for dd (year 2). We have been to visit, filled out all the forms etc and were all sorted to start on 8th January

However, we received a letter from Sutton Council a few days ago offering us a place at Barrow Hedges, which was our first choice. Unfortunately we have not yet visited Barrow Hedges (we didn't think there was any chance of getting a place as we had been told that the waiting list was quite long), and will not now have the opportunity to do so before we have to make the decision, so it is very hard to know what to do.

It would certainly be easier for us to stick with Stanley Park at this point, but Barrow Hedges has such a good reputation, especially for music, that we feel we need to consider taking up the place there instead of Stanley Park.

I would be hugely grateful if anyone has any experience or knowledge of either school that they would be prepared to share. We have to decide by 7th Jan, and then arrange uniform, childcare etc all on the same day...

Many thanks in advance
