DH will be working in Holbeach and he wants to live within a short commute to his work (ideally 20 mins drive or less). We have never been to that part of the UK and have no idea what are good areas and which to avoid. Would really appreciate any advice regarding this. Currently I'm looking at Long Sutton, Holbeach, Moulton, and Spalding. I don't drive and go everywhere by public transport or taxi, but I think I might have to learn to drive again once I'm there. (failed my practical thrice 2 years ago and gave up on driving)
I have 2 DCs in Primary and 1 in Secondary, so schools will be a consideration. I know the area operates an 11+ system and am a bit worried for my eldest DC as she is not quite Grammar material where we live currently ?there is only 1 Grammar here and it is extremely difficult to get into), but she is quite able academically and if we weren't moving, I was going to send her to a good local Comp. She is also very soft-spoken and shy. Really worried about her settling in a new school in a new area, but that's another matter...
Can anyone offer any advice regarding schools there as well as good areas to live in?
