moving from Essex to North Devon - need advice please

[nicolenlolly]

Everything seems to be falling into place for the move and so it is time to start thinking about schools, the only problem being we know no-one locally to get the general gossip so only know what Ofsted say and the school's website. According to the council guideline we fall under chittlehampton primary and then south molton community college, I could possibly try for Chulmleigh school and college as we are only just outside catchment.

My daughters will be going into yr6 and yr1 in September so we are hoping to move August but I am aware that I need to start making provision for senior school. My eldest bless her is not the most academic but very sporty and talented with her horse riding, competing to quite a high level, the youngest is very bright so will be fine and less of a worry.

So, are there any local ladies who would be happy to give me any advice please?

Many thanks
