Hi all,

We are applying for my son for a place for secondary school and looking for any feedback to help us to choose.
we are thinking to go with the grey court, Orleans school or Kingston academy. Any feedback on these schools, please?

If you look on the local Richmond board it will give you the distance cut off for each school last year. You are very unlikely to have the choice of all of them you need to work out your catchment distance.

This booklet has admission distances in the last couple of years.

Hi
Actually, we are moving to the Richmond and Kingston area. We would like to move near the school we will apply to.

Oh dear, I didn't even put the link.

The Kingston Academy is new so it hasn't got much the track record of progress and attainment to compare to the other two schools.

However, both Orleans Park and Grey Court have excellent progress scores and attainment. I've done some In Orleans Park and it had a nice feel with lovely kids. I imagine that the demographic at Grey Court will be similar. Tbh, you can't go too wrong with either so I'd probably decide based on a more convenient location for yourselves.
