Need reviews for St.Peters Chiswick & Larmenier Hammersmith

[OllieW6]

We're torn between two schools for our girl starting next year in Chiswick/Hammersmith London - 'St. Peter's Church of England Primary School' or 'Larmenier & Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School'.

We've attended both on open days but looking for independent reviews from parents. St.Peter's especially has reviews on here only from years gone and nothing recent.

Both are great schools. I know people who got in-year place at St Peter’s (moved eldest from Southfield school W4 which is also an excellent school) because they are religious and felt school was ‘nicer’. I seriously considered Larmenier as several parents I met spoke so highly of it (and the building is very special). I doubt you could go wrong with either, just remember that how they are now won’t be the same in seven years so just pick the one you think will be the best fit for your daughter and will be an easier to commute.
Will you fulfil the requirement for both, as I don’t think you can be a practicing Catholic and C of E (unless you go to church twice on a Sunday)? The one benefit of a Catholic primary school (assuming you are a practicing Catholic) is they are priority ‘feeders’ for Cardinal Vaughan/Sacred Heart, so you have extra options if you are not in the catchment for the West London Free school.
