Poplar Primary

[OhSheesh]

Hello lovely Merton Ladies!

Does anyone know anything about Poplar Primary School? We live in Merton Park and my ds is due to start school next year. I think Merton Park is our closest but I strongly doubt we have any chance of getting in! So this would probably be our next option. I would welcome any insight that anyone could give!

TIA

I've heard Poplar has gone downhill in recent years but I have no direct experience of it. Hillcross school (Ashridge way) is Ofsted Outstanding.

My daughter goes to Hillcross reception which wasnt even 1 of my original choices and I was sniffy about it at first. Despite having to drive there I now cant recommend it highly enough.

My children aren't at Poplar, but everyone I know there is happy with it.
