Anywhere in the world or do you want to narrow it down a bit? :o

The way we did it was to choose a budget and then draw a circle about eighty/one hundred miles in diameter with Central London in the middle, locate houses on websites, Rightmove and so on, (it has school info on it,) and then visit areas with houses in our price range. We spent about a year looking. The funny thing is, in the end getting the right combination was really down to luck. (We were pretty fussy about which house.) For a while I was terrified that our children would have to go to the local school which is in a deprived estate. But that didn't happen in the end.

Good luck.

The odd thing is our local school is lovely. It's just its location which is horrible. It also has an education policy which, though brilliant in many ways, I disagree with profoundly.

Renting or buying? What's the budget? Need more info, but also there's lots of threads about areas for good primary schools in London on here so have a search.
