Hi mums, we want to buy a home.
Our kid will start primary school soon and we are academically oriented - going to send our child to state school only. And would like to give our child the opportunity to get into a grammar school if they'd prefer in the future. I understand it's too early to think about this but we do not want to be under pressure for moving houses at high school stage.
We commute to central london for work thrice a week.

I'd appreciate if you can help me with any of the following questions:

  1. What are your views on on the area we should pick: Southgate vs Amersham?
  2. Does the quality of state primary teachers and education differ in Bucks vs Barnet?
  3. Any parents with first hand experience of Little Chalfont Primary School or Ashmole 'Primary' School.. I'd love to hear your reviews of the school(s).

Thank you for your help.
