You haven't said which year you're trying to get your DD into but in your shoes, I?d make appointments to look at all of the local schools. Don?t just rely on ?reputation?, Ofsted and other external information ? you know your daughter best and what type of school she will enjoy most. At infants, getting that right is key. You want her to be excited about learning and champing at the bit to get to school every day. A happy child in a good school will make a lot more progress than a miserable child in an outstanding one.
If you are applying for an immediate place (rather than reception in 2013), get on the waiting lists of as many contenders as possible once you?ve exchanged. Make sure you ring around the schools regularly to check with them about spare places. Surrey can take ages to pick up on empty places.
If you?re applying for reception in 2013, make sure you exchange before the deadline (15th January) so that you can apply through the normal process. Living as close to those schools as you do, I?d put them in your preference order.
Unfortunately, your area living with the consequences of the problem that Surrey caused infant and junior schools on the same site when it introduced the reciprocal sibling criteria for shared-site schools WITHOUT implementing a tiered sibling priority. For over-subscribed schools, particularly schools like Wallace Fields that have had extra bulge-year classes, this has caused more siblings than can be coped with. As the recent adjudication on Wallace Fields highlights www.surreycc.gov.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0008/354419/ADA2281-Wallace-Fields-Junior-School.pdf : ?Following the introduction of the reverse sibling rule, sibling numbers increased dramatically between 2010 and 2011?, leading to the current situation at these schools whereby ?oldest? children are not getting places even when they live as close to the schools as you do (0.688 miles away last year). Even if that eldest child is a pupil in the infant school and the new sibling lives 20 miles away, it cuts no ice; if there isn?t a tiered sibling criterion, the local children have to go elsewhere.
In reality, the choice between an ?older? family that?s moved away and an existing / new family living locally is a no-brainer for schools ? local parents mean fewer parking problems, so more supportive neighbours and the families are more likely to attend events and support the school, etc, etc. The WF schools and Surrey tried to get a tiered sibling criterion introduced for 2013 ? which is happening ? but their attempt to alleviate all of the problems caused by the reciprocal sibling criterion failed this year because they were not in the original consultation. Presumably Surrey will be consulting on those aspects this year, so those difficulties will get resolved over time.
