We are planning to move to this area due to work in the next year. My kids are in year 3 and 5 and so I'm looking to move into Thornden catchment, but I'm not sure about juniors. Mumsnetters have talked a lot about Hiltingbury and other outstanding ones, but not about Merdon which I guess would be more likely to have places given its' OFSTED rating. Any comments on Merdon? Thanks!
