Hi Vik. We have one son at Kingsdale who is at the end of year seven. He was one of 20 children from Goodrich School who moved last year and the general consensus from the families and children has been a positive one so far. I know that another 30 or so Goodrich Kids will be going this year. My son is a sports scholar and has enjoyed lots of extra sports lesson and additional outside activities, for example on Friday he and other scholars went to Crystal Palace to help with a Primary Schools Sports day and last weeknd he went to Wembley to see an under 18 football game. I know that music scholars are also benefiting from the excellent facilities and opportunities. We went to a superb concert that was held in the Schools' pod in March to raise additional monies for some of the children who do African Drumming going to Namibia. The journey has been fine, P13 or 363 bus, some of the kids cycle. I know one parent whose child moved to Kingsdale from Charter, not because they had a poor opinion of Charter, but because Kingsdale offered more opportunities for her musically. I oftem drop off and pick up my son and all of the children appear well behaved and orderly. It's a difficult decision, I'm sure both schools would offer a good education for your son. Good luck!
