Hi All, I bet this topic comes up every year around this time, so apologies but I am new. New to this forum and new to the UK education system and relatively new to our area, so I will really appreciate any constructive comment and advice you can give us. We live on tooting bec road between Franciscan road and church lane (+/-), we are Catholic but we can't prove weekly Mass attendance so I think I am fair to say that we can forget St. Anselm, St. Boniface and St. Leonard Church schools (although I would like to receive feedback on these schools as well, specially the last one and understand how much religion oriented they are). We are therefore left with Hillbrook, Franciscan and Fircroft (at least these are the ones I have). I didn't include Tooting Primary because seeing previous years, it seems we are not in their catchment area. Anyone knows Fircroft catchment area? I could not find it online. I am going to visit all of them; today I was impressed by Fircorft and their PTA, community feeling and new headteacher, so I know all the good things about this amazing school, but let me know if you think differently. What about Franciscan and Hillbrook? Any other I should include in my list? We have no car so must be close by and with good and "long hours" breakfast and afternoon clubs.
Thank you so much for any help and advice!
