Ursuline High School or St. Philomena's Catholic School

[byroniks]

DD got offers from Ursuline and St. Philomena's in Carshalton. Ursuline High School was our second choice whilst St. Philomena's was our third choice. We got offer from St. Phils first and and 3 weeks later, got an offer from Ursuline. Journey wise, Ursuline High School would be less hassle but I've heard great reviews about St. Phils. Need more persdpective from people who had been on the same situation. Thanks.

Worth putting this on the local Merton page or also Sw19 mums network page on facebook. Both excellent schools, I thi k what goes against St Phils is location but from what I gave heard its facilities are superior.

Thanks happygolucky!
St. Phil's has an enormous space being on a 25 acre parkland. I agree both are excellent schools, with good results. Facility wise i don't know anything about St. Phil's as we missed the open evening. But i've heard pastoral care in St. Phils is excellent. However, Ursuline seems to get better results, in a quiet residential neighborhood and could save my daughter 10 mins journey. I've got until tomorrow to make a decision.
