any advice about local schools appreciated

Fair enough and I apologise that I clearly misunderstood.

no need to apologise I am probably rambling incoherently ;-)

"Fair enough and I apologise that I clearly misunderstood" = didn't read it properly before venting with your own prejudices

This discussion is really getting out of hand! Zeban had the good grace to apologize, I am very apreciative of that. As I said I clearly didn't explain myself properly in the first place. misunderstanding is not a crime. Please can we now stop this thread. I regret ever posting the question in the first place.

Sorry, couldn't help it. Anyway, I have a few friends with kids at Heber, it's not perfect, but I don't know anyone who has a really negative view of the school overall. My kids are at Goodrich, and I'd say the same thing. Neither of them are outstandingly good - not worth moving house to be near, in my view - but good enough.

ok many thanks for that. We will apply to both so good to know about Goodrich too. I did a tour of both and thought at least they looked like friendly environments where the kids are happy. great to hear from people whose kids go there. it's all such a confusing business!
