Hammersmith and Fulham school advice

[flyingpinkrabbit]

I would be really grateful if you could share some of the best state schools in Hammersmith and south Fulham area, and your experiences with schools here. Ideally I would prefer my child could start the first few years in state school and attend private from Year 7 or Year 11.

I know John Betts is a big name in the area, and the majority of kids go to private after finishing the school, but it's almost impossible to get in, right?What about Larmenier and Scared Heart? Is this school easy to get in? Is it academic and pushy? I have also researched West London Free and some other religious schools like St Augustine and St Peter.

Would it be hard to transfer to the private education system after having started at state schools?

Please share your experience and advice with me, thank you!

To get a place in a church/faith school, you will have to go to church regularly and your Parish Priest/Vicar will need to sign a supplementary form to support this.

Are you looking at a mid-year admission or a Reception place? If it’s a mid year admission, I doubt you will have much choice of school. The Borough school admissions department will allocate you a space at the nearest school to you that has a place. This could end up being anywhere in the borough.

Thanks for the reply. It will be reception admission.

Which school would you recommend? Thank you

Any advice from any mums?
