Which schools for Crawthew Grove?

[EDdownunder]

Hi,

Just trying navigate through minefield that is school admissions, criteria etc and understand it's not just solely based on distance but could anyone tell me which schools are being attended if living on Crawthew grove?

Thanks in advance!

From Crawthew Grove you are most likely to be Goose Green, St John's or Bessemer (as they have another bulge class).

If you think you will still be there for secondary school then I'd well advise you also consider this. Only a few of the secondaries near by have a distance criteria but if they sound like a school you might be interested in then worth considering. It may seem along way off now but time really does go so much quicker than you think!

Bessemer are now a 3 form entry rather than a temporary bulge.

I would have said GG and St Johns too.

Thanks for the info guys. Still wrapping my head around the subject of schools so all this info is really helpful.

Remember tomorrow is the closing date for applications! Please put down 6 schools and in your order of preference. Schools don't know the order you put them down in, so if your preferred school is further than your closest one, it doesn't reduce your chances to be offered to be offered the closest school f you don't get a place at your preferred one.

Good luck!

Renata

edited to put in tomorrow!

Hi EDownunder,

Most I've spoken to are Goose Green.

But I've clearly not spoken to everyone!
