I really want my child to get into a great local state school when he goes to reception, but I live in Hackney and I've seen kids not get in anywhere close or anywhere decent. So I've decided to put his name down for a few private schools as backup.
I don't even know where to begin looking. I'm not really a private school kind of person! (I really do hope he just gets into a lovely local state school.)
Any recommendations for schools in north London that aren't uber-competitive "name" schools but, instead, are lovely, outdoorsy places that encourage creativity? And are great for helping the kids all get along? ...
Anywhere that's a 20-30 mins drive is ok. Hampstead, Highgate, Islington, Hackney, Camden (just).
