Co-ed prep schools in Guildford

[DeboDevonshire]

Hi ladies, I hope you can help me with this. We are planning our move from the big smoke down to Guildford this summer. We have two children, DS 5 and DD 3. We are looking for a co-ed prep school for them, and have come up with Longacre, Ripley Court and Hoe Bridge. Are these Guildford schools? Will they make Guildford friends at these schools? I am told Longacre serves the area south of Guildford rather than Guildford itself. Where do parents who want a co-ed education go? I am not against state at all, but have rather presumed we won't get my DS into a school at this stage, and also want the freedom to buy the house I want, rather than being tied to a particular street to get into a school. Any advice on co-ed schooling in the area? Many thanks.

I know guildford area very well, i know puttenham infant school has an (outdoor) pool and i think smaller classes, but generally the village schools are very good in this area and if I was choosing would send my child to one of them over the more central guildford infants like pewley, sandfield etc.

Puttenham infants is lovely, but the swimming pool is no more. Instead there is some great play/climbing equipment. Class sizes are around 26 -28 per class.

unfortunately most of the village houses are £1m+

This is 18months old.
I expect the op is sorted....

yes but somebody today wanted to know village schools with a pool clandon has one the kids use it nearly every day in the summer, although the parents have to have a rota to come in and change the kids

Yes. But it might be better to pm them? Especially after 18months.

fiddledee you wrote on 19 may 2011 that village schools had low numbers and even a pool at one - do you mind sharing which one this was? thanks!

DATE

Blimey.

That is impressive cutting and pasting but I am not sure what your point is. Putting DATE in capitals in very pretty though and adds a touch of irritation.

If, after 18mths pax wants info from fiddledee she is still probably better served clicking on message poster. I was only pointing out that this is a dead thread to those who had started replying to the original op.

OKAY
