If you’ve got kids, Sutton is basically the Disneyland of education. People move here specifically for the schools—some are outstanding, like Sutton Grammar or Greenshaw High. But here’s the kicker: you might pay a premium for a house near one, only to find out your child is more interested in TikTok dances than trigonometry.
The school run is a spectator sport. You’ll see parents in Barbour jackets weaving through traffic on electric cargo bikes, looking smugly virtuous. Meanwhile, you’re in pyjama bottoms dropping your kid at the gate, praying no one sees the cat hair on your coat. We’ve all been there.
