I'm sorry, but, why?

Here are the OFSTED reports for the three secondary schools nearest to Forest Hill - two at walking distance, two within a reasonable bus ride. Three of them are rated "2 - Good", and one is rated "1 - excellent". It looks as though the 2010 ones are working their way through the system, and should be available soonish.

It is worth reading them through for more detail, especially Sydenham, where it is noted that although the girls are "spirited", they have a high level of focus during lessons (the bit general Forest Hillers will not see, because it is inside the school buildings, not on the street), and take good care of each other. Also that the incidence of bullying is low. Surely these are qualities you would move closer to a school to find?

Can we stop knocking Lewisham secondary schools please? I am not necessarily accusing tttttttttttttt of this, but I have come across this "must move away at 10/11" attitude bfore, and it sometimes smacks of snobbery. We all want the best for our kids, but League table position isn't everything.
