Learning about London grammars

[BigGreen]

Hello

I was wondering where to get more info about London grammar schools? I'm not from England and am finding the system somewhat confusing.

We're in a situation where there's no boys secondary in our catchment area. The closest school in our borough is not good, in terms of grades, behaviour, polluted location plus a DC died in their care.

The schools in neighbouring boroughs are good and these are actually closer to us, but it seems less certain that DC would get in?

I really want to avoid the in-borough school for obvious reasons and I was lucky to attend a great grammar school myself so would like to learn more. It's possible we could move to a grammar area as well (but have v small budget).

Thanks for any pointing in the right direction.

There’s a wealth of information on this site:

If you're close to Mossbourne, you have more options than you think. (I'm guessing that school you don't want beings with P?). Look south. Both Bridge and Haggerston are good mixed schools with happy kids and lots do well at both. There's a new Academy down that way too - I think it's called Shoreditch Park - I have no idea what that one's like though.
