St Saviours - Larkhall, Bath

[AgainWhen]

I am moving to Bath and thinking about Larkhall. However St Saviours has a rating of '3' from Ofstead. Does anyone know if that is deserved? Seems odd as it's such a lovely area. Also what are the chances of living in Larkhall and getting your child into one of the better rated schools?

You'll need to live very close to one of the "Outstanding" schools to secure a place these days - but there are waiting lists.

Have a look on the BANES website - iirc they give details of the maximum distances away from each school that places were offered.

Just to confuse things, I have friends with DCs at St Saviours who are perfectly happy with it, friends who have moved their dc from St Saviours, friends who have moved their dc to St Saviours from one of the "better" schools, friends with DCs at the "Outstanding" schools who are perfectly happy...

Thanks for that.
