It will take 1 hour 20 mins . In a bad day, 1 hour 30 mins. We will stay local. :)

Thanks to others too. Keep input coming.

Local to Sutton / Surrey? did you not consider Sutton based schools?

I usually go with the children's choice, if feasible. Ultimately, they have to spent 5 or 7 years in the school. If he is deeply in love with QE, I won't make him choose what he thinks to be the second best choice. But, obviously, YS knows better if family can relocate or not - such a long travel obviously is not advisable.

Not at all Youngsuccess. It was a genuine suggestion. Some parents may not entrust their 10yr or 11yr child with such a decision. Good for you that you have.

Fortunately, he got high score in Tiffin, passed Wilsons, passed Wallington and high score in QE. :) Now he insist on doing SGS as well. :lol:

Thanks CP123! He is in love with QE, but wait until we do a few more early runs this half term break! Two very early waking ups should do the job! :lol:

Youngsuccess are you asking so that you can decide how to rank on the CAF? I suppose that's more tricky if you have potentially 5 to choose from.

No problem with CAF filing! I am asking so that my son could read all the posts from current parents and he had a good read last night. :D
