Grammar dilemma advice - Weald of Kent or Townley

[clouise26]

Been in a dilemma on the above schools!
We like both. Live 5 miles from Townley and 16 miles from WOK. Townley would be a coach and WOK 2 trains. Both amazing schools but very different.
Any insights would be much appreciated.

Checkout both the Bromley/Bexley and Kent bits.

Well done to your DD, it's a lovely dilemma to have.

The only thing I would say is don't underestimate the travel time - they get pretty tired at secondary and if the choices are equal then I'd go for the nearer one.

The shorter travel time I mean, whichever that is.

16 miles and two trains is a long way. They’ll be a knock on effect on friendship groups and the ability to access after-school clubs.
I’d go for Townley.
