It's like me and Croydon. I was rather fond and defensive of the place when I grew up there. It's now a cesspit.

It is still an outstanding school in every respect. And it still attracts kids from all over North London and over 3000 applicants a year. It isnt quite as good as when I was there, for obvious reasons :)

I dont know much about the others these days.

It's safer for kids in the snow. when you are a kid and fall over you get back up.
as I get older it takes longer to get up.

Just ask him for a date, you weird stalker.

in Enfield? There are schools less than half-a-mile away from us which we've been told there's no point applying to as we don't live close enough.

Ah.... never liked that part. As a rule I never went closer than Winchmore Hill if I could help it.

I think school's can decide their own catchment area- this one certainly can. They take pupils from every N postcode and most E postcodes.

Oh, and you have to pass the entrance exam and be good at maths, cricket or music (preferably all three).
