Anyone with information on York schools?

I've name changed for this and am hoping to get some info on schools in York. We're moving up there in september and our oldest will be going into year 9, next going into year 7 and one going into year 3. We understand that without a post code until later in the year it will be very hard to get places and we are willing to go private if we don't get a school the DCs like. So far we've looked around Bootham and St Peter's for private and Fulford, Huntington and Manor state wise. We haven't looked at any primaries yet. I was wondering if anyone has any experience of the schools listed above or if there are any others to consider? Also what primaries are thought of as being desirable?

Bump

There are MNs who have good knowledge of the area & schools. Maybe they just missed your posting?

i live in york and my DD goes to st peters. its a super school, the teachers are lovely and caring - take notice of each childs individual ability and assist them from there.
My DD never really engagened before going there but now she thrives!

What made you choose St Peter's, super? I've heard quite a lot about both St P's and Bootham and the two seem so different. Also do you have any opinions on the state optioins?

I think I also posted on your other thread. I can't comment on the independent schools as I have no direct experience. I have a child at Fulford and he is thriving - he has only been there a term but loves it and is aware that his teachers have high expectations of him.
