My brother is moving back to the area later this year and is likely to be applying for a secondary place for his ds next October 2010.
I've lived between St Albans and Harpenden for some years but my dcs are too small for me to know much about the secondaries - he is looking at the area near Sir John Lawes/St Georges. He's a churchgoer - a genuine and enthusiastic one - so in theory St Georges seems a good bet, but I'm not so sure about the head, seems to like the publicity a bit much for my liking. I don't know Sir JL at all but seems to get good reports. I know Roundwood primary quite well through friends but not the secondary.
He's also mentioned St Columbas - private - in St Albans but I know a few mums with boys there and I've had mixed reports (though he is quite keen from the pov of a Christian element).
Any views?
