Hi there,

If you could wave a magic wand and pick one of the above for an academic child, studious and kind, which would you go for and why? Nb: Distance not an issue.

Thanks so much

If it's a mid-year transfer surely it depends on who's got spaces?

Hi yes,

I'm aware of all the criteria's. Live near Kingsdale and Charter and more than catholic enough for JF, prepared to travel and it's a mid year transfer.

AFAIK, you have to be a practising Catholic for JF - as Ladymuck says.
Charter is a small catchment, Kingsdale is lottery (from anywhere)

The problem is that distance is an issue therefore it is unlikely that people would have managed to choose between these schools!

Are you Catholic enough for John Fisher? That comes before being academic or kind. Certainly it is a very sought after school but you really do have to meet the admission criteria - there isn't any leeway in the "baptised by 1, weekly mass attendance for 3 years" requirement. I would be happy with it, though some locally prefer the grammar schools. They take a lot of the Whitgift boys at 6th form.

Kingsdale and Charter are too far away for me to know anything about them.
