Schools in Epsom Downs

[Denix]

Hello.
My family is moving to Epsom Downs and are thinking of putting in an offer on a place on Shawley way. We got two little kids 4 and 6. There's Shawley community primary very closeby. Anyone have experience of this school? I called Surrey council and they mentioned I could apply to Epsom downs school, The Vale, Wallace Fields and Tadworth primary. Any experience of these schools. We won't apply to WF as we want stability (don't want to reapply later!)
Any info highly appreciated.

I think your first step need to be to find out which schools have places in the years you need - will it be reception and Y2 for the autumn?

My friend teaches at Tadworth and says it's lovely. I have also heard good things about The Vale.

But you have to go and visit and make up your own minds.

There is no way you'll get into WF to be honest - it's full with a waiting list, and you'd be just too far away.

As rosebud says, if you are looking for Yr and y2, you won't have a choice realistically; school are likely to be full for YR at least, so you will get a place in the nearest school with a space, and your children might be in different schools.
