Hi,
I'm hoping for some advice about primary schools in New Malden (or maybe Kingston) for DD1 next year.
Coombe Hill is currently our first choice but we realise there's no guarantee that she'll get in and we don't know much about any of the others . I've looked at Ofsted reports but they can be out of date so I'd love to hear what YOU - the 'real' mums and dads - think of the schools in our area.
We're ideally looking for a non-religious school where DD1 will be free to think and question things. She's articulate, sociable and asks mature questions. She's also very determined! She loves nursery and she can't wait to start school. She seems to love learning but we want to make sure that she goes to a school which recognises her needs and encourages her to reach her full potential without unduly pressurising her; where she'll be happy expressing her ideas and where she's allowed to question things. She might get a bit bored unless she has her abilities stretched and she'd be very unhappy if she was told to accept everything at face value.
So, what's Burlington really like? Is Kings Oak improving from it's 'satisfactory' Ofsted?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
