Alexandra Infant School in Penge

[SilverSixpence]

DS will be starting here in September, and I was wondering if anyone has/had a child here and how they found it? DS has been in a Montessori environment since he was 13m and I'm worried about how he will adjust to the different teaching methods and how far they will have time to encourage him due to larger class sizes etc.

How did you manage to get into Alexandra? I have heard that is the best one in the area and will be wanting to send our daughter there when she is old enough.

we applied the usual way but we only just squeaked in to the catchment area, we are 0.3 miles from the school. It's very competitive, we were told 300 applicants for 60 reception places.
