Do we go west of Ipswich ?

[Guest Cadders]

We have been offered jobs at Ipswich hospital and have been looking at secondary schools for the kids. Really like the look of West Moreton Anglican College but it looks as if it's in the middle of nowhere. :skeptical:

Any suggestions where we should look to live - Should we be looking West of Ipswich and is there a nice area that is commutable to both school and hospital ?

Thanks for any help

Ipswich grammer school (for Boys and Girls)carrys an excellent reputation so dont rule them out.One of my best friends lives and works in Ipswich and she is going to send her children there.She lives at Flinders View and loves the area,friendly people,lots of kids,easy highway access etc,The new ipswich centre is lovely ,loads of shops for anything you could need.

There are lots of nice areas not a million miles from your works too such as Springfield Lakes, Brookwater, Sinnamon Park, Westlake, Flinders View,Spring Mountain, Teviot Downs, New Beith, Greenbank, Collingwood Park ,the list is endless,lol, hopefully these few will give you a few more hours research,lol, good luck

Hi Cal,

Thank you for the info and yes we have looked at the grammar schools. Do you know if the Grammar schools have a school bus and if so, where do they pick up from.

 

We may only be able to afford 1 car initially so need to identify an area where the children could travel to and from school via public transport (House is not sold and we will be coming without the equity)

Is Flinders View on a train route or is there an area with excellent public transport links?

 

Sorry for all the questions
