Prompted to post by the Betty Laywood enquirer below.
We are moving into Stoke Newington. I think William Patten will be our closest school but looking at the catchments over the last few years it could also be that we might miss out and are more likely to get places at Shacklewell or possible Benthal.
Can anyone give me some insights into these schools please? I've been round WP and really liked it, but I've since heard the head is leaving and no replacement has been found. Are parents worried? Will it keep it's laid back atmosphere? Benthal seemed really sweet, but I met some panicked parents there too who said that loads of teachers had resigned. Shacklewell seems on the up in the league tables, but I didn't really like the vibe.
Any information really appreciated.
