Hi everyone!
I really hope that someone can help me - I have recently moved to Carshalton village and I need to fill in an application form for a primary school (Nursery this year and then Reception) place. I don't know anyone local yet so can't ask for an advice and don't know which order of preference I shall put the schools in - it is obviously too early to say but my DD seems bright enough for her age and I want the school to give her a good education before we start 11+ preparation in Year 4 or 5 :)))
The nearest schools to me are
1 - All Saints Carshalton (a church school but takes a third on distance and we should get in)
2 - Stanley Park Infant School (then guaranteed entry into Stanley Park Junior School)
3 - Victor Seymour Infant School (then guaranteed entry into Harris Junior Academy Carshalton)
4 - Bandon Hill Primary School - Wood Field site
They all seem to be good schools, I liked all 4 of them when visited and they are almost equidistant from our house (except for the All Saints which is the closest (next to the house) and would have been the top priority because of that but we are not religious so a bit hesitant on this one...), they are all within 10mins walk, all seemed lovely on the tour and all have fairly similar KS2 results...
My DD has a good chance of getting into all of them and I need to decide on the order of preference now, this is my first child so no experience at what should I look out for...
Does anyone has a child in one of the above schools and can you recommend it?
Thanks so much in advance!
