Hello everyone,
Hoping you can help! My sister lives in New York but is hoping to come back to the UK (to their existing property in Gipsy Hill) but probably not before the summer. Her eldest son is 12 (13 in October 2015) and she is very worried about getting him into a school as she cannot apply before they are actually back in the country.
Like everyone in that area she loves the look of Kingsdale, Dunraven and Harris Academy CP, does anyone have any experience of getting into these schools? Can anyone offer any hope?
Also if her son didn't get into any of these (at least initially) what are the likely schools that he might get a place at and what are they like?
Final question: What is life like for a 12/13yo in Crystal Palace? Is there lots to do, clubs to join etc? He is into music, climbing and comics.
Thanks in advance for any help!
