I posted here before but have another question.
We live in London. The very local primary school is good and we know lots of people who would be sending their children there - dd knows them somewhat. She is highly likely to get in there.
The other school (and I don't know if we will get into as it is a 25 min drive away) is shiny and new with top facilities. It is linked to an outstanding secondary school and dd would get into that automatically should she get into the linked primary school (it is actually a through school). Dd would get into that on a faith basis.
There aren't any great secondary schools near us that aren't selective. Of course, dd may turn out to be a complete genius and get into one of those.
However, I am one to hedge my bets and try for this latter all through school but I do like the idea of being very local too.
Someone advised that the secondary landscape could change a lot by then but we are in a densely populated city ....Anyway, would appreciate advice.
