We must be practically neighbours!!

We are planning on checking out St Augustine's at Salisbury also, our best friends are sending their son there and love it, so likely we will too as are looking for the same things, we'll likely put DSs name down there also as a back up. But I REALLY like Bethany - and its walking distance.

Neither DH or I are actively religious, however we like the school and the education aspect is more important to us than the religious aspect, and I'm more than happy for DS to be exposed to religious education and make up his own mind once he's older.

We've chosen private over public because we really like the school and can afford it (it will be much less than child care fees!!!). But there are very few non denominational private schools, and none around here

Good Luck with finding a placement Kathryn
