@Curly: lol! I think there is a fair bit of snobbery about the effect the great unwashed will have on the Aske's brand! I'd be f****d off if I'd bought a house on telegraph hill and couldn't get my little angel into HA. We just want to know if the infant's school is improving or not. We've got our kiddy in a Steiner kindergarten and this is pretty much paid for by nursery vouchers until he is 5. It's very nice there but we are not sure about it once the kids get older & anyhow we can't afford the fees. Chances of us getting offered a place at H.A. next year are pretty slim if we go back on the waiting list however! It's a nice dilemma to have...

Interesting...we have been offered a place at Templegrove / Monson for our 4 year old. We were about 10th on waiting list, living 1.2km or so from the school gates. It seems like there is a lot of money going in to the school, it has new head....new building going up soon. We are nervous about whether things will be sorted out whilst our child is there...I think it was a failing school beforehand Would be interested to hear from anyone who knows if the Haberdasher's / Templegrove link is making any difference so far.
