I’m after some ideas of place names to start my search - where to buy a family home in London or outer London, north of the river, that has good secondary schools? I’m particularly interested in those with really strong pastoral care. In the interest of swapping like for like, I’m also interested in areas that would allow for access into grammar schools.
Background: We are currently on the SE London/ Kent border (renting). The plan has always been to move into Kent for our permanent home, for affordability reasons, and as a bonus, access to the grammar schools in Kent, should either of our DS be academic enough to benefit. However, DH and I are both from Manchester originally, both with family up north still, so we are starting to think if we have missed a trick to have never considered north of the river properly, purely because of our lack of knowledge. We have always lived in SE London and I know South London as a whole quite well through work. DH works in the city, so wherever we move to, we need good access back into central.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
