Hi all,
We just found out we are moving to London this summer. We have a daughter born November-06 and we are in need of finding a private primary school for her. Our plan is to live in Islington but could also move nearer any school she gets in to. My problem is just that, finding a school that will take her in. She is on waiting lists for three schools but since we applied very late it isn't looking very good for her.
Are there any private primary schools that are fairly easy to get in to for year 1, preferably within zone 1? Perhaps one with big turnover? I have tried to google for new schools thinking that they might not have filled up yet but I can't find any.
The three schools we have applied to are very different. One small and extremely popular new-ish school, one half-big and less popular one and one huge (1000 pupils) and very good school.
We will aslo contact the local counsel but they will not accept our application until we actually live in London which won't be until July, so I don't think we will have any chance in getting her in to any of the schools in the local area (Barnsbury) and I prefer her to go to a decent private than a crap state school.
Any input/ideas would be much appreciated. This school jungle is stressing me out
TIA
