Anyone live in or near Barrow- in-Furness?

Just wondered what it was like? May be moving there so thought I'd ask your opinion.

How old are your children janeybops? Secondary education is a problem round here. If you have children nearing that age I would highly recommend Dalton. But things can change a lot in a few years, so that's not really relevant if you've just got littlies.

they are 4 and 22 months so more concerned about primary at the moment.

whoops - on work computer.

My boys go to a fantastic primary (two 'excellents' from Ofsted, amazingly charismatic Head, etc.) but it is oversubscribed and you pretty much have to be in catchment to get in.

If/when you come to visit CAT me and I'll send you directions to come in to the town "the pretty way" LOL It's a bit shocking if you head in the main route past the industrial estates and the derelict areas. But it does look a lot better than it used to!

ok thanks roisin will try to CAt you later when kids in bed.

also try 'ross' and 'Hammett and Heyworth' estate agents.
Not much choice in Primary schools in Ulverston though. 1 catholic, 1 C of E infants, 1 infant/juniors linked , 1 infant school, 1 junior school spread quite widely.

So this will depend on what you want . Only one secondary school though.
Dalton, primarys and secondaries are all good (I think)

thanks this is all usefull stuff.

roisin - have CAT you just a minute ago.
