Norfolk House school, Muswell Hill, N10

[amaraka]

Wanting to ask all parents who send or have sent their child to this school. I have a boy and have registered him to start 2015. There is no data on how good this school is particularly academically. I wanted to have parents honest take on this school. The school is very local to me. I have also looked at a few others Belmont, Devonshire place and Highgate. Not sure how NH compares? Help is appreciated...

Mixed opinions from those I know who have had kids there, no direct knowledge myself. Very geared up to getting them in to good schools at 11 and I believe they will frankly tell you which calibre of school they think your child is capable of, if you think that your child should be heading for a better school than NH thinks you might be on your own. Very small building. Is a back-up school for many people so I don't know what the turnover is, I'd imagine quite high at 7 and I know that, for example, this year at least one girl has left at the end of reception.

Not enough space. The headteacher is not my cup of tea.
