New to aberdeen. Mile end school or skene square?

[Jumzy]

Dear mums,

relocating to aberdeen early next year with 2 girls (8 and 4). found 2 houses that i like and cant decide which to take as per school. one is at mile end catchment the other at skene square. any reviews of both please?

thank you

Can’t speak for Skene Square but my children moved to Mile End in August and I have been really impressed with the school and the playground is fantastic - lovely play equipment & astroturf for sports. It was built about 8 years ago so the facilities are all new. Teachers have been great so far.

Skene square is a Victorian school with a concrete playground.

If it matters - it would definitely be easier to park near Mile End. Skene square is right beside a busy narrow road

Are you moving from another part of Scotland?

Are you moving from another part of Scotland?

no, actually from the middle east

Mile End definitely (although my kids attended Ashley Road a few years ago).

My friends kids were at Mike End and they loved it, it’s a relatively new school not far from ARI, so huge variation in children’s nationalities which they loved. Skene sq is an old building and as others have said nightmare to park

I was going to say Mile End. Ashley Road is close too and also a great school.
I hope you're looking forward to our great weather.
