Family friendly places in and around Coventry

[mumandgp]

We are a family of four with 2 young kids. We are looking for places where we can move for work in Coventry. Our priorities are safety, primary education and affordability. Please suggest where are the best suited places for us. I have set up a poll, will be helpful to get an idea. Thanks

Hello
Coventry born and bred here.

Nice areas:
Coundon
Styvechale
Finham
Earlsdon
Mount Nod
Eastern Green

AVOID:
Bell Green
Wood End
Alderman Green
Foleshill
Willenhall

There are plenty of nice green spaces and parks and some great primary schools.

Prices will vary so depends on your budget. Kenilworth and Warwick are great but pricey. Nuneaton has nice surrounding villages but town centre is grim.

Rugby still has a grammar school system so you need to decide how you feel about that if you are considering that.

Leamington is also very nice but, again pricier.

There are lovely villages surrounding Coventry. Depends on what you'd want to spend. Corley, Fillongley, Old Arley are nice.
Agree with Nuneaton town being grim but it has its nice suburbs such as Whitestone and Weddington. Galley Common also nice with a good infant school

Agree with all
the above. Where your workplace
is would also influence my decision.. is it north, south, east or west Coventry?

That’s very helpful. Thank you so much for your suggestions.

Not sure if it’s north, south, east or west but planning to move within 30-45 minutes commute from Coventry University hospital.
Our preference is a nice primary school and nursery, budget can be stretched.

Thank you all for your input

I'm in Coundon (north of the city), a few good primary schools right on the doorstep here.
Keresley Grange Academy, fab. My DC went and it's a lovely little school with a family feel.

Hollyfast is also good
Also Coundon Primary
Christ The King Catholic school is supposed to be fab also.
If you need anymore info please direct message me on here

Great, will search Coundon and will be in touch soon.
Thanks again

@mumandgpif you give us some idea of your budget I could narrow it down a bit for you

We are looking for a rental property with monthly rent upto 1700-1800£.

How many beds?

This is a nice village and right side for UHCW https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/161097599

Would prefer a 4 bed house.

I was brought up in Wolston which is near the village in the last post and very convenient for UHCW. It’s a larger village with a good primary school, shop, pubs, doctors etc. My elderly parents still live there and I’m very grateful they are in a fantastic community with everything they need in easy reach.

Wolston is lovely but has had bad floods two years running so be careful where in the village you look.

Ooh yes avoid Main St and Brook St!!

Southam. Great schools including an outstanding secondary
