We are in the process of applying for a reception place for DS for September 2011.
We have visited and like Yerbury and Grafton but are probably just outside the catchment area for both. Other nearby options where he would be pretty likely to get a place are Duncombe, Montem and Pakeman. We are also close to St Marks and St John's Upper Holloway although we are not churchgoers.
I would be grateful to hear from anyone with children at any of those schools - which ones are good/bad/to be avoided at all costs?
I'd also like to know whether it is better to fill up all six places on your admission form, even if you don't specially like the ones you've put at the bottom, in order to avoid the risk of getting allocated a place at a school you really hate.
