We are looking at moving to Berkhamsted but have just seen a great house in a Bovingdon, but know very little about the area or schools. I looked online and it seems that Bovingdon has a great Academy but the Head is leaving after 17 years. Does anyone know the school and who will take over and do parents think this will be negative for the school? I am a practising Catholic so the other school we would look at in Berkhamsted would be St Thomas More, does anyone have any insight into this school? We would ideally want our children to go to Berkhamsted Private School for secondary or if they turned out to be bright to go to a Buckinghamshire Grammar, but I understand that they'd need tutoring, where we live now in London it's very hard to find an available tutor and you have to put your child's name down years in advance so I'm not sure what the deal is with tutor's in Berkhamsted / Bovingdon. Thank you very much for any advice.
