Hi all,
My ex wife has just obtained a court order permitting her to relocate our two children (daughter (12) and son (6)) from Sydney, Australia to the UK - timing uncertain, but likely to be in the next month or so.
My ex wife intends to live with her new partner in St Albans.
My partner, whom I will with live with when we move, lives and works in Ascot and her son goes to Charters.
So we are looking to find a good high school for our daughter somewhere between St Albans and Ascot - when we previously agreed a midpoint it was Gerards Cross, but I have no idea whether there are good schools there.
My daughter is clever, outgoing and well adjusted with an increasing focus on her academic work. Given that she hasnt done the 11+, I guess that limits our options to private schools or good state comprehensive.
I would greatly appreciate your collective wisdom about best schools for daughter and son roughly between Ascot and St Albans.
By my reckoning, it will mean a 30 minute commute to drop the kids to school from both locations. Once I have that sorted out, my partner and I will then look to move closer to the schools to cut this down (without making the commute too long for her son in Charters). Any recommendations about best villages to live around Taplow, Bray, Windsor? I have heard that Maidenhead and Slough are boring.
Thanks so much!
