Hi everyone, I'm a mother to 3 kids girl 14yrs and 2boys 11yrs and 2.7yrs. We will be moving to London in 3months and I'm searching for the best place with state schools. My work will be in Piccadilly and I don't mind living in the suburbs as long as there are good schools. I also need to know the difference between comprehensive, grammar and independent schools.

Comprehensive = mixed ability
Grammar = selective
Independent = got to pay for and cost goes from quite a lot to eye watering. Some are mixed ability some are selective.

You need to decide first of all whether you want to pay for private education or use state schools.
