Its one of the areas we are looking at along with Godalming and Dorking. DH has fallen in love with a property on a road leading to Farnham Park (Park Road in fact). Can anyone tell me about the area? It looks great being so close to the Park and centre but all I read on the internet is about how you must be in South Farnham for the schools. We are mostly interested in state secondary (not for some years but we'll be overseas for a while yet). Which secondaries will end up in - two local schools seem to be converting to academies so no info available.
As well as schools how is the commute to London? WIll I get a seat? ANd thoughts on the area in general?
Also posted in Property/DIY- not sure which will get most responses!
Many thanks!

Hi, we moved to Farnham a few years ago and I LOVE it. It's a beautiful town with a real community feel and lots going on. Everyone raves about South Farnham, but all the local state schools are pretty good. Mine are at Potters Gate and it is a fab school, interested in educating kids in a rounded way, not purely results driven. Lots of kids in the Park Road area go there too. It feeds into Weydon (fantastic) and Heath End (not too bad...) secondaries with the majority going to Weydon.

My DH commutes to London and whilst he moans about it (it is a bit of a drag until you get to Woking, then it speeds up!) he usually gets a seat.
