Hi

I am looking at houses in the new malden area and have seen some houses i like but have heard mixed things about the schools they would be in the catchment for:

  • Corpus christi
  • Christ church
  • Kings oak

Does anyone have any thoughts on these schools?

Thanks

I had a friend who lived in the area who tried to get her kids into the CofE school. It didn't work as the catchment is very small.

Generally from myself looking plus family and friends most people don't bother sending their kids to one of the RC primary school so the schools end up with spare places.

Avoid King's Oak. The children coming out of school and heading to Dickerage Playground are feral. Corpus seems to be quite good from friends who have children going there. If you can get into the Christ Church, it's the best (apparently) but the (actual) catchment is so small, it is nigh impossible. I believe the criteria is mostly met before the distance allocation is reached.
