Re: Rutherford House or Fircroft or Ravenstone

Thank you for your helpful reply. I think that is a good basis to start the decision process and I will take my time and visit the schools as well. At this point in time I prefer the look of Fircroft and Ravenstone and as you say they are established primary schools with a long standing heritage. I ...

Rutherford House or Fircroft or Ravenstone

We are new to the area near these schools and looking to apply for our daughter in 2017. The schools we are considering are Rutherford House and Fircroft School and possibly Ravenstone although that would be the furthest.
