Stay in Merton or Move to Wandsworth

[Nomadtech]

Evening all,

I am a father to be in a few months and am looking forward to schools. Currently live in Merton in catchment of Singlegate school, but the secondary school selection in the area has always been rather poor. There are some grammar schools in Wallington/Sutton, but we both have mixed feelings about them.

There is a property in Wandsworth and it is right near Swaffield and Allfarthing schools, so there will be a bit more choice for primaries and secondaries are generally better in Wandsworth. It is more money, but we'd rather put money on the mortgage to ensure a good education, we are both opposed to private schools.

Anyone who has moved from one borough to the other or have children at the schools mentioned?

Thanks

Thanks all, I'll take a look at SE London as well. Kingston I know is an option but always seemed to be crowded?

I'm not sure I agree LizzieSiai. Wandsworth is extremely diverse! Primary schools in Battersea have over 50 nationalities. I'm sure this is also the case in other parts of Wandsworth too.
