Hi Leia2018,

Have you thought about a Tonbridge Grammar School such as Judd? The journey would be so much easier. You could drop off at Godstone Station and the train would take 20 minutes with a 10 minute walk the other end.

Alternatively have you considered Christ's Hospital in Horsham which he could get to via Three Bridges?

There are quite a few boys who use the Redhill to Tonbridge train line, most are at Judd but some attend Hayesbrook which is adjacent to Judd.

The bus that goes from East Grinstead to TWGSB takes about an hour.

Another option worth looking at is Reigate Grammar.

Oriel School and St. Wilfrid's both seem on paper to be fairly decent Crawley schools!

Whatever you decide I wish you the best of luck.

Thank you Cassandre, really appreciate this. Had no idea about this school or how the route is fairly simple. Will definitely look into this one.

Reigate Grammar & Christ’s Hospital are both fee paying Grammar schools, which is something we want to avoid as we also have a younger brother to consider, 3 years younger.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge
