Hi,

I worked at Dulwich Prep for 11 years and loved it(from a teacher’s perspective and saw lots of boys thriving and enjoying the experience).

I drove from Clapham South which took about 20 minutes in the morning and about 30 minutes at the end of the day.

There is also a school bus which does lots of pick ups around South London.

Advice much appreciated.

Trying to decide where would be the best fit for our energetic son.
My husband is French and I English, and our son has been at a French nursery locally.

My husband is very pro ecole d Battersea based on his previous experience with my step children, yet I loved my time at prep and then day school in Dulwich.

Newton Prep seems well rounded academically and importantly has good sporting facilities and so I thought would be a good fit locally, while French schools have a good academic standings and leaves open a possible move to Europe post Brexit.

Yet, I simply loved Dulwich prep when picking up friends children, there was a definite feeling and the space was fantastic. but of course our son would face a significant daily commute and would lose the daily French aspect.

I guess my question is, has anyone done the commute to Dulwich daily? Out nanny would have to drive him. Or am I ignoring an obvious alternative locally?
Secondly, do any bilingual families have thoughts on the French Vs English system at prep stage.

Thanks in advance
