We are a family moving from abroad to London with one child in year 1 at the moment and another boy of 2 years old. I visited few schools and i liked : Tyndale/Thornill/Canonbury/Hanover.
The system is very different from the american one so it's quite difficult to understand the main differences between those schools. Any idea about how to differentiate them?
Perents/curriculum/approch to teaching?
I'm more inclined to a less regimented and a more creative and inquiry based teaching system. Which one do you think it's more inclined in that direction? thank you for any suggestions!

Do any have spaces?

I don't know at the moment. As today it's more of a theoretical question.
if you could choose ( i know we can't) what would you prefer and why.
For someone that comes from a different country it's very difficult to understand the real differences between those schools; the numbers seems close enough to me. thanks thanks

I live locally
Tyndale has the best reputation. My child is not at primary yet and we are moving out of the area as we do not live in the catchment for any of the good islington schools.

Yes, Tyndale is the most 'desirable' of the ones you mention, and has a reputation for being quite creative (no uniform, etc). But you'll need to live on the doorstep and then be extremely lucky to get an in-year place there. Tbh, any theoretical preference is going to be irrelevant as it'll come down to where there is a space. Even our much less sought-after local primary is full at the lower end of the school, and any spaces are quickly filled.
