N14 mother, out of curiosity, what made you pick Dame Alice ahead of Latymers?

For us, the area really put us off.

For us the opposite
Much preferred Leafy potters bar to Edmonton
We were concerned re safety around Latymer esp in the winter months when it is dark

We did the same and feel exactly same!
The journey to HBS was the clincher plus the huge praise DAO has received from many many parents
Am sure our DDs will both be very happy at DAO

Sorry, I think my post was unclear. We did pick DAO over Latymers as we also preferred the Potters Bar area as oppose to Edmonton.

It's quite reassuring there seems to be a few of us that have picked it not only over Latymers, but also over Henrietta Barnett.

Totally agree - appears quite few on here picking DAO over the mother north London grammars esp HBS
GUESS we won’t find out exactly how many until we see the amount of movement on WL on 1st march
My understanding is that ever year it moves less
