Martin Primary and other East Finchley primary schools

[saveoursouls]

We might be moving to this area in a year or so, from another part of north London.
I'd have to visit the schools we are interested in and then put my 7 yo DD on their waiting list. I know that some schools do their own admissions at year 4 or 5 level, whereas others stipulate I'd have to go through the council.

DD is currently in a non-religious Camden primary school, so if worst comes to worst, we could drive her to her current school from new house BUT I also like the idea that she eventually goes to a school local to her.

I've heard some passing good comments about Martin Primary, but have no idea about Coldfall Primary or Holy Trinity Primary.
We are hoping to move to the bit of EF closest to Archer Academy free school (secondary), so that will to some extent determine which primary we can opt for.
Has anyone got some good insider info about any of the above schools or any others I've missed please?

Thanks peeps

Coldfall is a fantastic school but you'd struggle to get in from East Finchley nowadays unless you're in the County roads or closer and then you may find yourself out of catchment for The Archer when the time comes (though you'd be in catchment for Fortismere). Martins has had a rapid improvement in recent years and people seem happy with it. Don't know anything about Holy Trinity. Are you aware of the proposed changes to The Archer's admissions policy that would favour some feeder schools that are far from East Finchley?

Thanks schnitzel
Yes, am aware of proposed changes to admissions - it's practically war, I've heard...
I suspected Coldfall would then be too far for Archer later on, but good to have that confirmed.
Planning to move to centrali-ish N2, but waiting lists for Brookland and Martin are extremely long...

There is always turnover, no matter what people tell you - it's London, people move. Best thing to do is pick a school and move as close to it as you can.

Very true. Am getting a very strong sense of deja vu....
