Church Schools in Kensington and Chelsea

[Sandiecl]

Hello, any mums here who have children at any of the following schools that would be willing to chat on their experiences?

Our Lady Of Victories RC Primary South Ken
Oratory RC Primary Chelsea
Christ Church CE Primary Chelsea
St Mary's Abbots CE Primary Kensington

Bumping up this post as I would also be interested in any recent feedback on those schools and also for Servite RC Primary and Bousfield. Thanks!

I wonder if a
you Sandiecl had any responses or any insights to the question about St Mary of Abbots. We’ll be moving to the area in the summer (I’m well aware we’re way past the 15th Jan deadline) and thinking of putting that as first choice. I do hear Fox primary is very good too. Any feedback on either of these would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone here can kindly give me information on Our Lady of Victories primary school? Any information regarding the school would be much appreciated. Thank you

I would also appreciate any feedback on this school. It seems to be a good school but their website does not give enough insight into the school. There's also not enough information from other parents .

Hi - I’ve always heard Christchurch is the best, but the head now runs Holy Trinity too. Can she do the same there? I don’t know?

Here’s another question: if you get a place at a top state primary ( Christchurch, Bousfield) do you drop your place at a prep school ( ie Glendower)? Do people do that?

Holy Trinity used to be a brilliant school. There were some issues which I think have been dealt with by the new head. It is not the same as Christchurch ( a rose by any other name...).
The best thing to do is to always visit the schools to get a feel of the place. Different families want different things and so visiting with your child always helps with decision making.
Bousefield and Christchurch are just as good as as any good prep school. Many of their children do well in 11+ and end up in top schools.

For experienced with being waitlisted at these church schools, what is the waitlist process from here? Decisions need to be submitted by the end of the month and admissions for the church schools is handled by their admissions team, so when do they start contacting people on the waitlist for any spots that become available?

Any news on Our Lady of Victories please?

it looks small and caring as opposed to huge Bousfield.

thank you Sarah
