I live in the Bristol area, but in a different school catchment area. I'm in a difficult situation of domestic abuse and might have to move to Bristol with myself and DD (4) at short notice.

If I do, she will lose her place at our very good local school and I'll have to get her a place in Bristol. I've spoken with the council and they have told me they have only got places left at Upper Horfield and Avon in Avonmouth, but I could go on waiting lists.

Anyone know what these schools are like? The fact that they're not oversubscribed like the schools I'd prefer makes me wonder what it would be like for her.

Also, I was hoping to live in BS6/7/8 nearer to family and friends and a sensible commute to work, but it would be difficult if she was going to either of these schools.

Grateful for any advice or opinions.

St Augustine of Canterbury is a small Catholic primary school in Downend (BS16) that I can highly recommend and it has places, now and for next year. OFSTED good. very nurturing environment - my two little granddaughters go there and are very happy - so are we.
