Want to buy in the area but unsure where to place ourselves. Prefer Crouch End/Highgate rather than Muswell Hill but would go further up if Fortismere really is better. Can anyone give an idea of each of the schools? Not just exam results, but feel, what pastoral care is like, facilities, teaching strengths? I know (from here) that Fortismere is more tutored kids/middle class feel but perhaps Highgate Woods is actually better in terns of pastoral care. Would this be correct? I do like the area around Woodland Gardens way. Would this give me a chance to get into both? Secondary is still quite a long way off but obviously don't want to have to move again. We do have the option of private too but Highgate seems so incredibly difficult to get into.
