Belleville vs Honeywell

[sw11mumi]

I am looking at both schools for my children and am wondering if anyone could give me some inside information as to which school they would recommend?

Have they published info on how the Belleville expansion will affect admissions?

I am under the impression that the catchment area will be that of the main site but to be honest I haven't looked into it as my children are 5 and 6 so won't be eligible for the new site

what school are you switching from?
are you waitlisted for their years or do they have space?

I have friends with children at both schools, all were very happy but there are some concerns over the Belleville expansion plans.

Best to put names down for both, huge waiting lists are pretty much the norm in the earlier years,

Have they decided about The Vines site? Will it have a non-contiguous catchment (really, really bad idea, given how badly that side of the A3 is already blighted by school runners).

PS: no need to put names down early. All applications received by closing date are considered equally.

We have been on the waiting list for a while. I then found myself in a really unusual situation where my children had offers from both schools and had to choose which to go for. In the end we choose Honeywell and am now hoping my youngest will be offered a place soon as she has a sibling there
