Relocating from London to Hampshire- school advice needed please!!

[Faz2015]

Need some guidence please....

My husband has just got a new job in Baisingstoke..And we are now thinking of relocating within 20-25 miles radius of Baisingstoke. We are currently in west London and my dd has just started and settled in well into a good primary school in our local area. So ideally we would like to relocate to be closer to my hubands work, but we dont want to make the move, unless we find a school that is better than the school my dd is in aready. I have no idea about the schools in the area and also grammer schools/ excellent secondary school. I know its very difficult to get into good schools here in London, is it the same for Hamshire? Please adivse on schools and areas/villages for the move! thanks

I am a frequent visitor to Winchester and have many friends there, and you will have no problems being Asian British. It is true that Winchester and Hampshire villages are very middle-class and affluent, and not very ethnically diverse but they contain some of the nicest people I have ever met, kind, generous, welcoming and full of community spirit. Ethnic minority families tend to be doctors, academics and other professionals. Friends' children tell me there is no racism that they've witnessed (my work involves education/demographics/sociology so I'm interested).

Schools are generally good throughout Hampshire.
