My eldest daughter is 2, so we are in the position of looking for good schools, and was just browsing the primaries everyone on Mumsnet seems to bang on about, but am i missing something? Although they are made out as the holy grail nothing seems very stellar academically?
Sudbourne, Brixton: average point score 29.9 - 2443 out of 14701 primaries, level 5 38%
Coleridge, Crouch End: average point score 29.7 - 2945 out of 14701 primaries, level 5 38%
Belleville, Battersea: average point score 30.3 - 1592 out of 14701 primaries, level 5 38%
Tetherdown, Muswell Hill: average point score 30.2 - 1762 out of 14701 primaries, level 5 45%
Yerbury, Holloway: average point score 30.0 - 2146 out of 14701 primaries, level 5 38%
I know they're all Ofsted outstanding etcetc (apart from Tetherdown which is only good) but none of them are even in the top 10% of primaries and I would have thought for such a solidly middle class intake they would be doing much better? (I'm not trying to offend anyone dont cut me down!)
Our local primary, Foulds in Barnet's average point score is 31.1 ranking it 527th and has 58% level 5. This seems markedly better but it's not really talked about on Mumsnet so does that mean its perceived as undesirable and I should move to one with catchment hysteria?
Arrgh so much stuff to think about -_-
