DD has now started year 5 so I can no longer stick my fingers in my ears and sing "la la la" about secondary school choices - I have to start going to open days, and decide whether we need to tutor, or move, and which of the umpteen local aptitude tests are of interest (a bit too late for a Damascene conversion apparently)
I know the Lambeth and Wandsworth schools list backwards, but I've now done the government website search by distance and half the closest schools are Southwark or Westminster, so I need to know more from the experts.....
Just how small is the Charter catchment?
Is Pimlico Academy any good, and how small is its catchment?
Greycoat's publicity makes it look very religious indeed. If my atheist DD managed to get in on a languages place, would she be made to feel hugely out of place?
And given that DD is definitely academic in inclination, should I cross any school without a sixth form off the list?
