We are hopefully moving to Ashwell, Hertfordshire around Easter.. as well as the getting our kids into primary school (6,4,2 yrs) we are in a bit of a panic about secondary. Is Ashwell going to be put in a black hole with the new Bygrave house estate building.. have pupils always gone over the border to Bassingbourn or is this a relatively new thing? Is it the lure of Hills/Long Rd 6th firm college? And anyone got recent experience of The Knights Templar in Baldock? And of course other options? If we completely scrimped and saved, private could be do-able for a bit if their education. But not ideal..
Thanks so much...! Want to make sure we are doing the right thing for our 3 children... and shouldn't be moving to Bishops Stortford or Saffron Walden where we would be in a town with outstanding state secondary schools.
Love Ashwell and want to make it work however!! We have outgrown our house in South East London and so this is rather a scary big move for us... thank you!!
