We are planning to move back to London in time for DD to start y3 (so 7+ entry). She's in y1 right now and meeting expectations but definitely not super academic or anything. She tries really hard and is focused, well behaved and popular (according to the teacher anyway). She loves music and plays the violin.
We could live in most parts of London but would prefer South East or South West. No longer than an hour's commute from Westminster.
It doesn't seem to be easy to find the kind of school I'm looking for! It needs to take a decent number of new pupils at 7+ and preferably go through to 6th form, but I would compromise on a school that ended in y6. It needs to be somewhere relaxed and nurturing rather than somewhere very selective and academic, but I wouldn't want it to be limiting if she did turn out to be academic later (I was a late bloomer myself so I'm aware of the possibility).
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
