Just that really. We need to move house and the main factor is trying to find the best secondary for DS. Cannot afford private or religious schools - and really not sure that he'd pass an exam for Grammar. So if you have to move (ideally zones 2-3) which one would you target? Our local comp is terrible and everything else around here is private. Most of our friends have moved out of London for schools, but we're very reticent to do so.....any suggestions???

The Charter School in North Dulwich/Herne Hill is considered to be very good but housing in the area is expensive. An indication of your budget for the house move might help people narrow down your options.

Sorry should have specified (is there a way of changing one's own message on mumsnet?) - ideally (!) a mixed school......what i meant was that I have a son so all-girls schools wouldnt work. Sorry my mistake

Does it have to be a boys only school or do you want mixed?
