 There are state run schools here and private, paid for schools (known as "Public Schools"). Being admitted to a school in London can be one of the hardest and most frustrating experiences. As per many other countries, you have to apply and through a system of points, you will gain access or not. Even though everything is favourable to you, sometimes, inexplicably, your kid ends up being accepted in schools you were not even considering.
Many parents buy or rent a place in certain areas in order to get access to specific schools for their children.
Generally, if you are moving to London and you have a clear idea where you want to live, considering all the factors, it is best for you to contact your assigned council to find out about the admission process in the local schools.
www.direct.gov.uk is the most useful website you will find, with all the information you need to apply for a school for your kids.
