So I'm still on the hunt for my family home. I had to stop my search for a few months because it was getting stressful. We are hoping to find our family home - one that will be home for at least the next 15-20 years. I love wimbledon and there are houses in my budget near worple road, some near north of Haydons Road station that I saw. I know wimbledon is full of great state primaries, but there are barely any state secondaries (i could be wrong?(Rutlish and Ricards?) We are non-religious people.
We also looked at streatham which seemed to have not just great state primaries but also a better selection of secondaries (dunraven, graveney)
I know streatham is a totally different vibe to wimbledon, but the house in both areas are similar in size and design.
I guess my question to families with children living in wimbledon, did you have to move when your kids turned secondary school age? or should i be looking at streatham if I'm looking for a home for the next 20 years if my priority is to be near to both great state primaries and secondaries. i suppose i'm looking for reassurance that it's ok - and that those schools are not bursting at the seams full of applicants.
ok i'm totally ranting now. my apologies but would appreciate some feedback
