We just learned that we will be moving to London for my husband's job and we are so late to apply to schools, I would love any and all suggestions you can give me!
We are moving from Boston, our boys will be 6 and 8 1/2 (entering year 2 and year 4, I believe). We have applied to ASL, but of course there is a wait pool.
Where else should we apply and try to get into? We are thinking of the St John's Wood and Primrose Hill area to stay close to ASL in case something changes? But we are open to other neighborhoods.
We also are looking for a home to rent. Thank you in advance for any and all suggestions. Feeling desperate to get a school before they close for term and a home for August 1st.

Hi OP

This might be a useful site if you are planning to move to SJW.

Also this site gives some information on schools.

It might be worth getting an educational consultant. Would your husband's work pay for it?

One place it might be worth looking at is Southbank.
