Hi

Dont be put off by the outside of a school like i was, i kept my son at home for 6 weeks in 2006 as he did not get into Graveney School in Tooting [ apologies for intruding on FH forum - however i did live in FH for many years and my mother/brother still do and have done so for 27 years ]

Anyway we failed to get into the so called world famous graveney as they said we lived to far away [ 0.31 miles is the distance - complete joke or what ], we had an appeal, lost, went to local mp, minister of education, ombudsman, waste of time, so we sent our son to a school in Balham which has just been given an outstanding report by ofsed [ Chestnut Grove ], our son loves it there, made many friends and is expected to pass all his gcse,s with flying colours, so remember its what is in the inside that matters not the outside, and dont please ever bother with an appeal, waste of space, also the old adage, the teacher opens the door, yet it is only you who can enter. Sure all the local FH secondary schools are 1st class and lets remember when the kids are shouting etc, they are only children
