Grammar school commute
Posted: Thu Apr 25, 2019 5:53 pm
Hi all,
I live in the SW17 area. My son is in year 4 now and is tutoring at one of the centers near Sutton presently.He travels over the weekend and finds the commute tiresome.There isn't any grammar schools in tooting and the ones in Sutton are about 40 mins with 2 or 3 interchanges up to an hour's commute. At present , he is very interested in preparing for the grammar school and is fairing well.What are the commute options and if parents in similar situation have paired their kids with locals for commute ?I work full time and my DS will have to travel alone.I am looking at Sutton grammar, Wilsons and Tiffins boys. I am also in a dilemma if I should move home closer to the Sutton area if optimistically my DS gets a school and its easier for him.I heard the council now has a strict policy for move. I am also thinking if there are schools equally better in the tooting area and this whole grammar school thing is making me worried..Should I be preparing my son for this taking in to account the commute.Please advice.
Thanks
