Hello I am a Paediatrician and a father of 2 boys. Presently in Cardiff but moving to West Yorkshire..... Hospitals in and around Leeds.
My older son will be in Year 5 from this Sep and younger in Reception. I was looking for schools there and Bootham seemed a nice one to be in.
Can you please help me with the following queries as I will be new to the area.
- Is Bootham a good choice from academics perspective?
- Because I have to start in Year 5 .... is it a smooth transition between the Primary and Secondary? Is there any chance of him not getting in the Bootham Secondary from Bootham primary.?
- Most important of all ...... which areas do I look for housing then. I even have to put my youngest in a good primary at Reception but don't want or rather cannot afford for him to be in Bootham. So rather have him in a good state primary. So a housing to give good access to a local state primary and access to Bootham but good for families .....
I don't know whether I made sense but hoping to find an answer from the replies...
Many thanks
