Hi, we are a family with 2 toddlers (1.5 and 3yo) moving to North London around East Finchley area. Potentially looking at Brookland (Hampstead garden suburb hilltop) and Highgate primary school, and would appreciate some local knowledge on these 2 schools for both nursery and primary school to help us choose between the two especially in terms of the school culture, teaching styles and facilities. We are also curious about the catchment area of Highgate primary school - how far does it extend in the direction of Brookland (we are more likely to live nearer to East Finchley/HGS)? We are also open to suggestions of other primary schools in the area but we would need to be close to either East Finchley or Highgate tube stations. Our older child currently attends a Montessori nursery and I’m also slightly torn between finding another Montessori nursery for a year Vs going into the nursery of the intended primary school. Thanks for the advice!
