We are planning on making a trip next week to visit schools, look at houses to let...

Can anyone recommend a letting agent?

Would the letting agent be helpful in finding us schools?

We're considering public schools; we've heard Guildford schools are a good place to start.

Any insight into George Abbott School?

Ant other towns you can recommend for an American family?

For recomendations of real estate agents, please advise the original poster through the Direct Message system rather than the public board.

Hi fam6!..,

Heres a starter
Moderator cut: removed
Both are National, trustworthy and reliable -but known locally.
- No.
In the Uk Public school equals private, fee paying;
All others referred generally as 'State Schools. - Comprehensive or the higher level - Grammar schools.
Private Schools; Herewith a good site to start. -
Schools by Location
Public schools Directory; ie fee paying-

The ones in Surrey that I have knowledge of are -
Cranleigh - v. good quality school. Day and Boarding
Charterhouse - top flight. Used to be Boarding only - may be Day as well now...
St Georges
G Abbotts I know of but no have no personal knowledge but here -
George Abbot School - Home Page


-and league tables of School academic performances in Surrey


Schools Surrey County

Cant really suggest other towns without bit more intel. Do you want village or town etc. Farnhams nice...

Default Surrey

Hello,

My best pal is also a large family 8x kids and 2 adults

I will ask then for information, they live just outside of Guildford Surrey, in Dorking.

Kingston is also near, fantastic for shopping and eating out(it's built along the River Thames) very posh and exspensive.

be prepared for property prices, they are not cheap
