Non Such Vs Wallington
Posted: Sat Oct 24, 2015 5:17 pm
Hi All
still trying to decide which one of these schools to put higher in my CAF list .
Non such is my preferred school for some personal reasons and also we were quite impressed with the Organisation on the Exam day compared to Walli when i took DD to take her exams. Unfortunately we forgot to go for the Open day as we were too glued to attending Wallingtons open day due to the fact that we missed previous years especially since they always have it in June/July and did not realise Non such wasn't too far ( doable in about 20mins with no traffic)
Journey times on the Exam day was 25 mins by car with no traffic (of course we set out early morning about 7:50a.m) but took a frustrating one hour when going to pick up DD infact we were 30mins late. she was the only one left .
The only reason i would be tempted to go for Wallington is because its nearer but not straightforward( estimated journey times by car 10mins but will take 2 bus rides to get to school so 30mins
1. does anyone have any experience of their DD's travelling to school a bit far away?
2. Could parents with DDs in NON Such please tell me their experience of this school.
i just want to be sure going to a farther away school is really worth that travel and i believe there must be DD's travelling to NON Such from Croydon etc.
3. to make it worse the reaction i get from friends living locally as us when i say we prefer NON Such is " How is she going to get there'
hmmnnn!!!!!
i need all your kind advise please before i click on the submit button for the CAF .
thanks all in anticipation
