Catchment areas for Hitchin SG4 9HA?

[pepel27]

Hi all, I hope you could help. My daughter will be 3 in November and I have started looking around for primaries. We currently live in SG4 9HA and I am wondering how/where do I find the catchment areas of the primaries in Hitchin?

Highbury Infant School is really close, is it any good? Do we stand any chance getting into William Ransom?
If she get to an infant school, would she then be able to transfer to Whitehill which is really close too?

Many thanks in advance,
An ignorant mum!

You can check your nearest schools on the herts cc website here: www.hertsdirect.org/ufs/ufsmain?ebz=2_1410732000248&ebd=0

Below are nearest for your postcode (I picked no 16 at random, but the distances are not so close that this should make a difference). Sorry the formatting will prob look crap on here.

You prob aren't likely to get William Ransome - whilst there's no such thing as 'catchments' now, you would only stand a chance on rule 5, and distance likely to be too far. You can download document from council website showing furthest distances of pupils admitted in last round to give you an idea.

I don't know much about Highbury, but reading its ofsted report is probably a good place to start.
