La Retraite or St Cecelias school

[Melonjuice]

Hi has anyone got any experience of either of these schools ? We live in Battersea and I really like the sound of both schools ( initially I wanted St Thomas Moore in Chelsea but found the school quite run down )
la retraite has really good exam results , as does st Cecelias in Southfields and I’m really confused what to put as first choice . My DD is also unsure ( she has difficulty with maths and is on the SEN register as a result )

Hi ya

What school did you end up putting as first choice, and what did your DD get?

My DD is at La Retraite and is doing really well both socially and academically

Hi I ended up choosing St Thomas Moore Language College in Chelsea first so we got that, after seeing it again
I take back my comments about it being run down, it's actually a really good school
They provided 2 weeks of summer camp which consisted of kayaking river cruises London eye ect, they are also quite religious which I liked too and the exam results, progress rates are good, I also like that the head is approachable

I didn't choose la retraite in the end although not far it's three buses from me and the opposite direction of my workplace should I need to go in for any reason ( I work in Kensington so STM is not far from me), and my daughter wanted a mixed school u

sorry message above!

Oh lovely! STM’s summer school sounded like fun!

Glad it all worked out in the end and wish your DD all the best on her secondary school future!
