Secondary schools in Cambridge

[tatty123]

Thinking of moving to Cambridge with DD who is in year 9.

We live in a difference county at the moment and she goes to an excellent state school where 91% get '5 good GCSE's.'

I'm really keen to get her into a school that is equally good if I can. By which I mean good teaching and happy children. I don't want to jeopardise her GCSE results by moving.

I'm puzzled by some of the league table results for Cambridge. I would have thought that assuming some of the academics send their children to state school, this would bring standards and expectations up?

Have thought about Parkside and St Bede's.

Would welcome any advice please.

Thank you jennyWren1234 i will check out the story in the press.

Can anyone tell me if Chesterton Community College is as good for music teaching and extra-curricular activities as it appears on the website? And is Latin teaching good too? Thanks.
