Any recommendations for any of these schools? Deadline fast approaching and we have missed the open days. Thanks!

I wouldn't recommend both of them. Take a look at John Ball

Invicta is near the huge road, it is very busy and loud. And if you want to get to the Sherington you need to cross the same road. I few days ago I was near the Ruthin Rd and I could hear the noise from Blackwall Tunnel. So, I think it would be noisy near the Sherington school.

Hi OP it is not noisy near Sherington at all. It is a lovely, small school with very good feedback from parents. If you are in catchment for both, I would say, pick Sherington. Invicta’s ofsted used to be good, but the recent ones not so great.

If you are in that area, you will not be in catchment for John Ball.
