Camden schools, any info?

[sophiehweldon]

Hi, I'm moving to Camden borough with 5 year old twins. Does anyone have ANY information on Carlton and or Gospel oak primary schools. They seem to be the only schools with an in year place. I am less worried about their education and more focused on them having a good happy non violent environment. (I am moving from a school that seems to be quite rough)
Any advice very welcome. Thank you

We moved out of Camden a few years ago, but at the time Gospel Oak was well thought of, Carlton less so, but apparently Carlton has improved enormously and now gets very good SATS results (which of course are only one measure of a school). Go and visit them and get a feel for the ethos, the headteacher and the staff, talk to parents outside the school, and the choice will probably become easier.

Thank you for your advice lostintoys
