Hello 😊
We’re moving from Orpington to Hartfield, a small village between T.Wells and E.Grinstead.
My eldest daughter is in reception and we are looking at the schools in the area which have spaces, which are:
Penshurst
Fordcombe
Hartfield (st Mary’s CofE)
Dormansland
Does anyone have any advice/opinions/thoughts on any of these schools and how they compare?
I don’t know the area or anyone at all in the area so any advice at all would be brilliant!
My daughter currently goes to an enormous primary (180 per year!!) which she loves and I’m worried the change to such a tiny village school will be too much for her? Although I love the feel of a village school where everyone knows each other and it’s very personal vs being a little fish in a big pond.
Penshurst and Fordcombe were both lovely, can anyone give any comparisons on them? There were 6 spaces available at Fordcombe which seems a lot, does anyone know why?
The results for st Mary’s CofE were terrible and I know it’s not the be all and end all but does anyone know why this might be?
Any feedback at all would be really helpful!!
Thanks
