My husband and I live in Hilperton on the edge of Trowbridge. We've lived there about year but now have to move as our rented house is being put up for sale. We are taking this opportunity to think about buying a house locally. However, we would be wanting to start a famiyl very soon and so our children would have their childhood wherever we move to. I have heard good things about the schools in Bradford on Avon compared to Trowbridge so we are thinking we will try to move there.
Are there any mums who can give us an insight into what the schools are like (state, not private) in Bradford on Avon, Trowbridge and Hilperton?
Also, we are looking for general insight into what it's like for kids in terms of safety and facilities, and also having other 'good' kids to hang about with. Both my husband and I grew up in rough areas where our schools and streets were infiltrated by kids who were a bad influence so we feel strongly that we want to avoid this for our own kids.
Are there any areas to avoid?
Any suggestions and feeback welconme as we are not from the area originally and so don't have the insight.
