We are seriously thinking about moving back to London and living in Camden.
We would move back this May/June and dd1 will be in y6 in Sept so we will be thrown straight into the whole secondary transfer nightmare.
I am wondering how to do this! I have 3 girls (as well as an SN boy but I will post a separate thread on him!)so thought that these girls schools would be ok, but wondered how easy it is to get in. If you live in the catchment for Camden are you practically guaranteed a place? (and then if we move, would the other dds get in as siblings?).
How easy is it to get into Marylebone if we were living in Camden.
And finally we are CofE - would this enable us to get into La Sainte Union? how easy/difficult is this?
Oh actually another question - what is Parliament Hill like?
I am aware of the whole Henrietta Barnett route too, but am not sure that I want that for my dds - although dd1 would have no problems getting in I think as she has been at a very good private school where they routinely do tests etc and work at several years above their ages. The other dds are not there however, and I don't know if they would get in. I also like the idea of my dds going to the same school, both for ease etc, but also so that they do have a shared experience.
Any views on these schools would be appreciated!
I know that the catchment for Camden is tiny and also that it is expensive, but we would rent for at least 2 years and would aim to be in the catchment area for this. We couldn't afford to buy in that area at all. (unless on a very dodgy camden estate)
