Hi! We're considering moving to Islington, near Blackstock road and very close to Ambler, which would be our primary school for our DS's reception class. Does anyone have any info on it?
We would prefer Gillespie, but the flat is .1 mile away, which apparently is too far! Do you think we might get in another year after reception?
In theory, we would love St. John's Highbury Vale, as we do attend another (non-Anglican) Christian church and would qualify under that admissions policy -- but I imagine that we'd be unable to get even into that school given that there is preference for kids from Anglican churches and siblings and it is very small.
Any thoughts on schools in general in this area is appreciated. Can't even bear to think of secondary either . . .
