Secondary Schools in North London

[Halle38]

Our family are looking to move from Islington to another part of North London in time for my son to start Secondary school. He is in year 5. Has anyone got any advise about which secondary schools are outstanding and good? I am already researching Latymar, Fortismere, Dame Alice Owen, but looking for others that are good as well, but perhaps not quite as difficult to get into. At the moment we are looking at properties in Muswell Hill, East Finchley, Highgate...but again, there must be other "nice enough" areas with good schools...?

Any advise greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Alexandra Park School seems to be a popular choice.

You can get into Dame Alice Owen on catchment if you live close enough.
