Bushey Independent and State Schools - PLEASE advise

Hello! We are planning to move to Bushey as we like the area, and can afford to buy there. However - I have no clue about the schools.
There are some threads here with regards to Bushey schools but they seem to be quite old, and i understand schools can turn around in a couple of years. I can also see a lot of information about independent schools for girls in Bushey.
I would like to apply for assessment at 3+ for entry in Sept 14 for my son. And I am trying frantically to locate independent schools in Bushey that people would recommend.

Given that there are no guarantees on admission, and that we plan to buy a house over the next 6 months in Bushey - could I also ask about primary state schools in the area. The estate agents 'lurve' all schools next to 'their' on the book properties and I have giant quantities of salt stashed for them and their words.

Please - advise/ indicate/list/ schools in Bushey. I would welcome any help and suggestions!!

I am quite keen for all around development, aren't we all! But would go visit these schools too to make my mind up.

The two state schools which are well known in Bushey are Merry Hill and Bushey Heath. Bushey Heath only has a one form entry and the catchment is very small. Merry Hill has a two form entry and therefore the odds are a bit better. Bournehall has started to become more popular. Little Reddings is apparently one to avoid!
