Hi all,
I have a little 11 month old boy and currently live in SE London. My partner and I are scouting for places to live in London to permanenttly settle in that have reasonably good school. We came to Enfield two weeks ago and were impressed by the fact it was also really nice with the canal etc. Schools seem to also be good.
However, I then did some research (including looking at comments on Mumsnet) and all comments about Enfield are so negative (i.e. schools not so nice, high crime etc) that I am not sure anymore. The comments that I saw on Mumsnet were from about 2006-2008 and mainly from people that had just moved out of Enfield and said that they couldn't wait to move out.
Perhaps the comments were old and things have changed.
What's it like?
What are schools like? Ofstead reports are quite good but I read some comments saying there are lots of behavioural problems even in the best schoold. This is not uncommon around London, but I was just put off by the fact that almost every single comment I read about Enfield was a negative one. I personally didn't get the that impression when I came to visit, but I don't live there and I am wondering what you people think.
Many thanks
Francesca
