Hi there. This was my son's first choice of school, but he didn't get in so we've just completed two successful weeks at our nearest school. However, Friday lunch time we got a call to say he's got a place. As we're out of catchment area I don't know any one at the school. I really liked it at open day, and was impressed by the Head, it's better academically than the school he's at but would love to hear other people's experiences.

Is it really better academically?
Harris are notorious for massaging statistics.
Could you say what school he is at? For comparison.
No direct experience of Harris Crystal Palace, it started out very popular and then lost favour but may have turned that around again. ( We are on the Lambeth side of the school).
