Newham/Waltham Forest state schools

[Sideofnoreturn]

My kids are tiny and I know a lot can change but we live in Newham at the moment and trying to decide whether or not to stay here long term, so secondary options are a consideration. Does anyone have any intel on good state options in Newham/Waltham Forest? (We live a few streets away from the WF boundary). We are in the catchment for the Redbridge grammars but obviously those are super competitive.

Where in Newham are you OP?

Leytonstone/Forest gate boundary

Trinity, Brampton, St Angela's, Chobham, Forest Gate Community....

Thanks @Katjolo - I know what the local schools are but was hoping someone might give me some info (ideally based on personal experience) on what they’re actually like in terms of ethos, atmosphere, teaching etc, and some sort of comparison between them. I can look up league tables and results myself but all my local friends have primary aged children so I don’t know anyone whose child actually attends any of these schools.
