You might get more replies if you name the area or some of the schools in the thread title, to alert people who live near by.

I live in Kent - big range of locations there so I assume you are looking to move near one? Mascalls is in Paddock Wood which is far closer to Tonbridge than Maidstone. It’s a big school and from what I know is ‘ok’ - the people I know who went there don’t exactly cover the school in glory but to be fair that was a long time ago!
I work in Westerham (v close to Biggin Hill & I think Charles Darwin is technically in Westerham?) and from what I gather, also judged ok by local parents - although Westerham kids not going to grammar judging by the buses also go to Oxted, Knole(Sevenoaks) & Hillview School for Girls (where my daughter will be going in Tonbridge). I live the other side of Sevenoaks & the non grammars sought by parents over here & judged the best are Hillview, Wrotham and Meopham or if you’re likely to qualify for a faith place Bennett’s (Tunbridge Wells), Trinity (Sevenoaks) or Simon Stock (Maidstone). Hope this helps!

Chislehurst school for girls comments is it good bullers wood or coopers all in Chislehurst Charles Darwin

Those 3 schools are about the same I would say. Although the head at Charles Darwin is particularly well thought of. A lot of people know Chislehurst School for Girls as Beaverwood. It went through a tricky time with a terrible ofsted not too long ago but this was all a bit ill-founded. Coopers is part of E21C multi trust academy, whose CEO has been forced out / resigned due to financial irregularities.

Of the 3 I would pick Charles Darwin probably.

Monkeys121 · 10/03/2019 19:23

Why do you keep posting the same thing?

Tomtontom · 10/03/2019 19:27

Which school has your daughter been allocated?

If you are wishing to appeal please get some help with it!

TeenTimesTwo · 10/03/2019 19:29

OP. You posted these before allocations too iirc.

What school were you allocated?
Where was it on your list?

You seem quite anxious about it all. Do you have anyone in real life to support you and your DC?

Monkeys121 · 10/03/2019 19:44

i not anxious just interested in people opinions of different schools i will ask what i want

Monkeys, honestly if people have clicked on a thread it means they are trying and willing to help.

It seems youadked a lot of questions about these schools in tne run-up to application, and some more before the allocations were done.

Have you been allocated a school? Are you happy with it? Are you on waiting lists and / or wanting to appeal?

PatriciaHolm · 10/03/2019 22:32

You can ask what you like, but when you ask it 40 times people are going to begin to wonder whether you are paying any attention to the answers.

SnowyAlpsandPeaks · 10/03/2019 22:43

OP you’ve asked the same question over and over- also in a bad way, it’s hard to understand.

PettsWoodParadise · 10/03/2019 23:17

Hi Monkeys just to reiterate what others have said, it now doesn’t make sense what you are asking. I have answered a number of times about Chislehurst school for girls, as have others but you keep asking again and again on new threads.

How can you have choice of such distant schools after allocation, what school did you get allocated, and finally for your own and your DD’s mental health please stop fretting.

SnowyAlpsandPeaks · 11/03/2019 16:44

I’m wondering if OP didn’t get/isn’t now happy with her choice and is going on the wait list, hence asking about so many different schools, but going on wait lists that judging by distance etc, she is highly unlikely to get. I’m purely making assumptions mind you, judging by the last 40 million posts she’s made over the last 10 months asking EXACTLY the same questions but on threads that were all ‘zombies’.
