It is not a temporary compromise. Either the family move, in which case the change is permanent and dramatic, or else the child remains unable to participate fully in the life of the school for the whole time he's there as he will be dependent on school coaches, he will be based a long way from the other boys and will spend a large amount of time travelling when he could be enjoying himself.ss1612 wrote:Hi,

The schools rank well because of their highly selective intake. If a child performs well enough to get a place in one of these schools then the chances are they will succeed in whichever school they go to - it does not have to be a grammar. There is more to choosing a school than league tables.

DS is in year 8 and 2 kids ( that he is aware of) have given up a place at Sutton GS after starting there, due to unmanageable commutes.

Re: Hounslow to Sutton 2020 entry
Travelling from Hounslow to Sutton 5 days a week is going to be a challenge the best of times. After some normality returns and after school clubs commence it's going to be a late finish for those having to travel that far. There will be less time for children to relax when they get home and there's also the small matter of homework.tiffinboys wrote:Please enlighten us with this travelling experience to help future parents.
The travelling experience is not going to be good and I feel for the parents have committed to doing this. At best this can only a temporary measure until someone moves closer.
