We are slightly more on the Peckham side of life so we’ve looked at John Donne, Edmund Waller, st Anthony’s, St John and st clements and even some out of London incase we had plans to move nearer to family. We actually really like St John and St Clements too so it’s a toss up between the two. SJSC seems a bit more relaxed in its learning style. A catholic school has a broader catchment hence our interest in SA. We really liked St Anthony’s and it has a nursery too which would be good for our younger child but the wraparound care is off site and not sure if it’s adhoc. So many things to consider!

Ahh good luck with the school search. Have you visited many others?

Hello! Do any parents here have children at St Anthony’s? I have my eldest starting school next year and I just wanted to get the opinion of any current parents? The school when I Visited seemed great and performs very well. The only thing I’m concerned about is if the early years are quite formal teaching and they’re expected to sit still by year 1! I have a summer born who is almost a year younger than his peers when he starts so he’s not quite at the stage of being very compliant! And I’d like to make sure he keeps his spirit. Any input is most appreciated
