Primary schools Tunbridge Wells help!

[GraceMay]

Hi there, we are looking to move to
RTW this year but do not know the primary system well. Can anyone advise how easy it is / is not to get a place at St John's if you live within catchment? This would be a standard application as opposed to in-year.

Any other thoughts on relocating to Tunbridge Wells from London as a newcomer would be welcome. Is it a friendly place? I'm slightly worried that with my little one soon to be past toddler/playgroup age that I might struggle to find opportunities to make new friends.

Thanks in Advance

Grace

Hi Grace, I think for a reception place you should be fine getting into St John's if you are within catchment. I've found TW a very friendly place and it's been easy to make friends. We moved when my little one was smaller though so have been through then nursery years here - although quite a lot of that was Covid! St John's seems like it has a nice community so you are likely to meet people on your street or in the parks as much as at groups etc. Good luck with the move!
