Hello
We are looking to move from SW London to Surrey, preferably a village near Guildford/Dorking/Farnham.
I understand that for the most part, state primary education in the county follows the pattern of infant school to junior school to secondary school (with the exception of a few 'traditional' primaries where you go straight from it at 11 to secondary.
How do you work out which infant schools feed to which junior schools, and then which secondaries? And if you attend a particular infant school, are you then guaranteed a place in the junior it feeds into or do you have to play the whole catchment area game again, before presumably doing that again come secondary?
We are also thinking of maybe moving into independent schooling when our daughter gets a little older (she's just about to start Year 2 in our local CofE primary). Is there a preferred entry year for this (if before secondary)? We wouldn't discount a state secondary if there are excellent ones about in Surrey (which I am sure there are).
Sorry if I sound a bit clueless but I wasn't raised in the UK and my DH is too stressed with work to be much help.
Thanks in advance!
