Hi everyone, we are a British expat family looking into moving back to London in summer 2020.
After some research, hubby and I both decide to live in Muswell Hill area and hopefully can buy a house over this summer.
My son will be 7+ year 3 for 2020 Sept and he will be a in year transfer which the council said all depends on the vacancies when the time is nearby. My daughter will be 4+ reception in 2020 Sept which I assume should be easier to get a place in the state school.
I know the state primary schools in MH are generally quite good but year 3 (7+) as a in year transfer just makes me panic. I feel it's totally like a gambling for me to buy the property within the catchment area ( always change each year) of the school I like. Therefore, I also register him for highgate 7+ admission / norfolk house year 3 and my daughter for norfolk house reception 2020 and channing 4+ as a backup plan.
Is there any independent school for my son 7+ 2020 year 3 that I can register near MH or a bit further out? The logistic wise is another topic after some schools accept them.
BTW, where are the kids go to 11+ for the secondary or grammar school in MH? as I don't really want to move again when the kids are 11+ just to be in another catchment area for secondary school. Maybe I am bit too greedy to sort out both schools for the moment.
Any thoughts are highly appreciated!
