According to your experience and knowledge, how will/did you choose from the following grammar schools if your DS qualified for them? also considering if the surrounding areas are safe, convenient and nice to live for families. Moving nearby to the school is one of the idea in the near future; it’s also one of the important elements to result the final decision. I’m sure all the schools are fantastic in different criteria. The matter is down to which one fits the child and family the best.

Offering OOC places with enough scores:

  • Dartford Grammar school,
  • The Judd School,
  • Sutton Grammar School,
  • Wallington county grammar school,
  • Colchester Royal Grammar school,
  • Westcliff high school for boys,

Need to move into their designated areas:

  • The Latymer school,
  • King Edward VI grammar school Chelmsford,

Any thoughts, facts, experiences and opinions are welcome.

Bloody hell, trying to follow the OP posts is like the worst sort of Common Entrance comprehension question. Thank God I don’t have to ever do that again. My brain hurst so much I have nothing else to add, sorry!
