Secondaries: Acland Burghley vs Highgate Wood

Any recent experiences of AB and HW secondary schools?
AB is our local comp and parents with children attending are divided in two very separate groups - those considering it a great school, with an amazing head teacher, on the up etc. and those with horrific experiences of bullying and generally poor behaviour so severe that they had to move their children out.
On paper, academic performance at HW is better and I only read positive reports on the school, but admittedly don't know any parents with children going there. Any info will be greatly helpful. Thank you!

Hello I have a son in year 10 at HW and a daughter at another school. My son loves HW and is doing really well - predicted 8/9s and sporty. He has lots of friends there. However the catchment isnt very far anymore and lots of his friends were on waiting lists to get in from the surrounding areas. Id check your distance to be sure. Lots of local children go from Crouch End and it has a good community feel also.
