Moving to East/West Molesey/Thames Ditton

[TamsB]

We are planning a move from Clapham to East/West Molesey/Thames Ditton. Our eldest daughter will be starting reception in Sept 2014 and my head is spinning with catchment area info! I've heard that both Thames Ditton Infants and the Orchard are both wonderful but what are the other options if you don't get in to either as the catchment areas seem pretty tiny? I've heard differing things about Chandlers Field and Hurst Park. Also Thames Ditton Junior school and St Lawrence don't seem to be as highly regarded as the infant schools, does anyone have experience of either? A long way off but also in my mind when buying our house is secondary catchments, I understand that Esher High is now an outstanding school and where all three Molesey primaries feed into - is this correct? And which secondary to the Thames Ditton children go to?
Thank you!!!

Hello from your Editor and thanks for posting. I'm afraid I can't help you personally but am hoping someone else can. Good luck with planning the move!

Hi there / going through the same thought process I'd be interested to know what you decided in the end ?

Thames Ditton kids surely go to Hinchley Wood secondary

Hello, I appreciate this is a slightly older post, but we’re in the same predicament now and wondered if you have any words of advice please. Thanks
