Hello everyone,
I am plannning to move to SE of England , looking at Kent vs Bucks area. I am looking for a town/city with excellent grammar schools as I have children who will be preparing for 11+. I also want a posh , friendly nice area. Which places would you suggest please ? We currently live in York.
I look forward to helpful responses.
Thank you

In Kent, I would look at Canterbury, Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells. These areas seem to fit your criteria best. Be aware though that if your children don't pass the Kent Test the choice of schools may not be to your liking.

How old are your children? I think some of the Bucks grammars require you to have lived in the area for a while before.
