Tell me about Northwood, Middlesex

[ronx]

I passed through Northwood recently and it looks v pleasant and leafy.

But what are the state primaries and secondaries like? I'd hate to move there only to have to up sticks again when the kids are 11.

shameless bump ...

I lived there for a few months but I can't help much with schools (wasn't relevant as we didn't have children at the time). There's a nice little high street with some restaurants/shops and a Waitrose. Houses seemed to be pretty expensive (again, didn't affect us as we were in MQs) and there's a huge tri-service, multi-national military base slap bang in the middle of it.

Regarding secondary schools - everyone we knew boarded their children, so I don't even have second-hand opinions to offer, sorry.
