Re: Churchdown school proposing to remove catchment areas
That's interesting. But its latest GCSE performance was a bit worrying, I thought.

Re: Churchdown school proposing to remove catchment areas
I do live in the area, and it will not be on my list of choices come selection time. I think it suffers because of its close proximity to Chosen Hill, which is currently the more popular school. I don't have direct experience, though, so someone with a child there will be more informed than I am.
I just know it doesn't have a very good reputation, and its latest results place it below Brockworth Enterprise, so something is not going well. Apparently (my husband tells me!) in the past the reputations of Chosen & Churchdown were reversed, and over time it varies as to which school is viewed as the 'good' one. But at the moment it looks as though Churchdown is suffering.

Re: Churchdown school proposing to remove catchment areas
I'm sorry weaver ...... But your husband is wrong . Chosen hill had always been the better school . It was the grammar to winston Rd ( churchdown's ) secondary modern .Weaver wrote:I do live in the area, and it will not be on my list of choices come selection time.

It was no longer a grammar when I went there . We looked round for dd before achieving a grammar place and I was very impressed - although it is very large now .... Where are you ? You may be in an area that CH draws from ( it seems quite wide !)
