Hello,
I currently live in Sidcup and I have 2 boys aged 10 & 12. I need to move somewhere with good schools and hopefully are more open-minded community. I have lived in Sidcup all my life, and was bullied at school and experienced racism. I thought things had changed, but I feel lately things have got worse. My sons do not look foreign but I am concerned about the people they are mixing with. My son who has always been very good and shy, is being bullied at school and I am seeing a change in his attitude. My youngest son, who was expected to fly the 11 plus, failed by 0.5point. He will not be able to cope at the state schools round here, he is not street wise. I feel its time that I move to an area with better schools, to somewhere with a labour voting community, where I can raise my boys in the knowledge that they are getting the best start in life. I am sorry if this post offends anyone (as I am sure it will), but this is my reality. I have been looking at Bromley, Beckenham areas, but I have no idea what they are like in reality. Any help/advice would be much appreciated.
