I’m overwhelmed with school choices for a Year 10 entry for my DD into an Co-Ed state secondary school. We have a last minute, frantic move to London from abroad and looking for entry for my DD. Somewhere within 30-60 mins travel to Canary Wharf? Open to faith schools as she has been in a traditional catholic school previously. We haven’t even started the accommodation hunt just focusing on schools first! Please comment if you love your school! Thank you!

You're going to get the school that has spaces...you don't really have a choice.

Cardinal Wiseman was a school that came up as an option while googling! Thank you! I think private is not an option at the moment.

Sorry if this is an obvious question but have you found out which schools have spaces?

What faith are you?

Cardinal Wiseman Catholic school in Ealing has a great reputation. St Benedicts as well if you are looking at private.

Thank you! Yes, hubby will be commuting to Canary Wharf so trying to find an easy commute for him too. I will have a look at Barnet!

I assume you mean one or both of you is working in Canary Wharf?

If you lmove to Barnet there are quite a lot of good schools like Archer (where are kids go, it's excellent) and the Compton school, the local Catholic schools are single sex though. Catchments are small so you'd need to live near. You can reach CW within an hour from local tube.
