We are about to relocate to Nailsea/ Backwell area and need to decide where to live to get DD into the best secondary school.
Clearly from Ofsted/ SATs etc Backwell looks the best on paper but Nailsea has got great new buildings and housing is a lot easier there for us. Nailsea was undersubscribed last year which is a bit worrying for me.
So what's the difference in real life? Given the new buildings at Nailsea is this going to tempt more people in? Or is there an underlying problem that puts people off? Is it attractive to people from Bristol where there is a probelm with schools?
DD is very academically bright and also have a DS who will follow her - also very bright and good at sport.
Would appreciate advice from people who know the schools and local area.
