Dear daddyof3
I don't have children at either Old Bexley or Christchurch so I'm afraid I can't give you any personal feedback from those schools. I do think that we are very lucky in having such good primary schools in the Bexley Borough, there are very few that aren't up to scratch.
My advice would be to visit the schools, and go with your gut feeling. If I have read your post correctly, and you are willing to move to an area within Bexley for the right school (assuming this given the distance between the schools you mentioned), then perhaps ask around - friends, family, neighbours for feedback, visit the schools and go from there. They will all vary greatly, in size, feel, location etc. Then check out their Ofsted reports, draw up a shortlist and go from there?
Also probably worth looking into catchment for the schools you are interested before moving and you also might want to consider local secondary school options.
Good luck!
