2 schools offered a place (Lambeth)

[jijilamorose]

Hi mums
Does anyone have children's that goes to Bonneville primary school or Henry Cavendish school in Balham ?
Which school would you choose?
My children were offered a place in both schools.
I feel like Bonneville can become outstanding soon.
Thanks need advice

How can you have been offered a place yet? The applications have only just closed and you won't know until April.
(unless this is an in-year transfer. Apologies if it is)

Yes it's in year transfer.

Ah that makes sense!
I am Lambeth but unfortunatly don't know those schools. I would go for the one that is easiest to get to and the one most children in your street go to.

They both look like very good schools - I wouldn't set too much store by the Ofsted grades, "outstanding" is not the be-all and end-all and sometimes the differences between those ratings are minimal. I would strongly second choosing the closer school if you can't otherwise decide between them, being part of the local school community is really important at primary (as I'm sure you already know as it's an in-year transfer).
