Hi. I have lived in camberley for 4 years. My daughter starts reception next year, Sept 2018. Because we rent, we are moving to a better catchment area.
When I did school visits I preferred Prior Heath, I think because of their grounds (wooded area, fort), bigger classrooms and library. So we are now booked to move close to the school.
However, now when I look at the website and newsletters, Heather Ridge comes across as more friendly. Their newsletters have pictures and I think they have online updates of the child as well. I also like the idea of living close to shops and park near Heather Ridge. There also seems more going on at the school, like the Olympic athlete visit. I don't know if it is just that Heather ridge is better at PR that Prior Heath. I have also been hearing that Prior Heath is more "strict" and their newsletter seems to mostly be about parking problems!
Would be greateful for any feedback regarding the two schools.
Many Thanks!
