St Albans Girls (STAGS) v Sandringham v Loreto

What is realistically the furthest you can live to get into St Albans Girls School? We will be moving house soon and hoping for a place at the above school for my daughter next year. We are looking into AL1 postcodes (near St Alban & St Stephen Catholic for my sons) however not sure if AL1 postcode is not too far from AL3 postcode (St Albans Girls). Is there anywhere I could check what the catchment area was like last year namely how many places were offered to AL1 postcodes? Also on a different note a question to those whose DD attend STAGs - how do you rate the school and does your DD like it?

I should also add - we are also looking at Sandringham School as well as Loreto Catholic College. What the catchment area is like for these two namely are they 'less oversubscribed' than STAGS and as such higher chances to get in if living a bit further afield? Also any info as to how your DD is geting on at the above schools would be really appreciated. Thanks

We live in AL1 p, not far from St. Albans & st Stephens. Certainly some girlsfrom our streetwere allocated STAGs last year.

Loreto is an excellent school, it has a mixed academic intake but achieves fantastic results. It is a traditional school and the girls study Latin and Classics. Behaviour is excellent and has a caring ethos- mostly based on the Catholic teaching.
