A few days to go to make the decision between NS and Wallington on the forms. Just wondering if anyone has a daughter travelling to NS from the Coulsdon area. What is the journey like? Any tips?

Not sure whether to drop NS altogether or do other girls have similar journeys?

How far is too far or too long a journey before and after a school day

Thanks

Hi Coulsdon mum, interested to know (if you don't mind) which comp you are thinking. We too have to decide on this incase our daughter is not successful with the grammars.

Also it seems that you can get a train from Wallington to Cheam....and I suppose Wallington is fairly close to Coulsdon.

@MIttleme unfortunately Waddon is not close to us at all.

Local comp we will put down next on the list will be Woodcote High.

We are not on the 463 route so it would be a walk to that bus stop. We are on the 60 route. Considering oasis and Riddlesdown for local comps.

If both our girls get in to NS they could certainly journey together.

Considering driving to Wallington station, then it's the train journey from there.
