Hi all,
We are currently in search of a new home and looking at a coouple of areas with good schools - DS is only 6 mo but I would rather not move again when he's 5. But the whole thing is doing my head in :(
I have to confess I wasn't educated in this country so that may explain why I find it all soooo confussing....
I hope hoping one of you can help me with these questions....
- Is it correct to say that private schools don't have a long list of criteria when it comes to admissions? - i.e. they don't care where I live (catchment area) or what my religion is as long as I can pay the fees??
- For state schools, if the school is CoE or Catholic, do I need to belong to these faiths to get my DS in ? Or is only based on catchment areas?
- And the catchment areas !! How do I know where it ends ?? I've look on the school websites and I cannot find anything specific. And who's to say that even if I buy a house within a catchment area, it will not change in the next 4 years !?!?
- Finally, if you had to choose between Sutton and Bromley - where would you choose for good primary schools??
Thanks for being patient with my silly questions
Cheers... :)
