Re: Holy Ghost School

The council website has the details of how previous year's places were offered
In general you would want to be under 500m from the school - there are only 30 places and sometimes there are up to 20 siblings

Other schools to consider - St Mary's Clapham or St Anselms Tooting Bec

Re: School Priority Buses - NIGHTMARE!!!

Unfortunately the real time information doesn't show which buses are school service and which aren't
However the next 319 should have been a school service

The 319 is every 7-10 mins in peak times so your child will need to allow more time

Re: HELP! Newton Prep/The Roche or Broomwood Hall

Best to choose somewhere you can walk to - more likely to have local friends and playdates

Re: More homes for Millennials in Balham High Road development

I guess this means Crossrail 2 will not be coming to Balham and the station will be at Tooting instead

Irene House was previously earmarked as a worksite for a Balham station
