Experiences of Hotham, Brandlehow or St Michael’s for an in-year primary move

Hi everyone,
We are looking at primary schools in the Putney/Southfields area for our son, who would be joining after Reception age, so this would be an in-year move rather than a Reception application.
The schools we are considering are Hotham, Brandlehow and St Michael’s CofE Primary School in Southfields.
I’m already aware of the recent Ofsted reports and have looked at the official information, so I’m really hoping to hear more from local parents about the day-to-day feel of the schools.
If you have children at any of these schools, or know families there, I’d be really grateful to hear your honest thoughts. For example: how welcoming the school is, pastoral care, behaviour, communication with parents, how happy the children seem, and how well they support children joining later.
We are not particularly focused on league tables — more on the overall environment and which school parents would genuinely recommend.
Thanks so much!
