Royal Russell v Thames Christian v Radnor House

[TigerMum8]

Confirmed Offers for DD at all three and having trouble deciding. We like Royal Russell a lot but location (Croydon) not fantastic since we live in Clapham. DD is clever without being super academic and is very sporty, especially football. TC location in Clapham obviously perfect but sports at RR and RH seem a little better, but happy to be corrected. Would welcome views from parents at RR and TC in particular. Sorry if this topic has already been done to death!

Royal Russell is a lovely school with great facilities. Journey is quite do-able from Clapham. Straight train East Croydon and then tram to RR.

IMHO, I do not think that Thames Christian is worth the money or comparable to RR.

Thank you, hopefully you are not on the waitlist at TC hoping to lure me away!

Haha - no I am thankfully past that stage 😀

Following re Thames Christian School. Would love to hear from some current parents.

I agree with @VestPantsandSocks ,
Thames Christian doesn't seem worth it for the money.
We know quite a few families who live in the Clapham Junction area whose DC go Royal Russell. 10 mins on train and then another 10 on the tram.
RR has been very successful with its football teams of late and the sports facilities are very good. Don't let the journey put you off.

Thanks everyone
