Education
When you have children that are at school age or even just below, finding schools that are both local to your new home and good enough to be trusted with the education of your offspring is a hugely important and tough job. At Redrow, we are aware of this, and want to make the job of finding a school as stress free as possible. Local primary school Ledger Lane Academy is perfect for children aged up to 11. For secondary age children, Silcoates School is a local independent school held in high regard. Similarly, Queen Elizabeth Grammar School has a fantastic reputation for academic success.Show education information
