Mr Chips   10 #4 Posted March 15, 2011 I believe that Stocksbridge is under-subscribed, so may well have places in all year groups. Give them a ring to find out. You wouldn't need to move if there are spaces, they should just accept you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
filiz   10 #5 Posted March 15, 2011 thanks everyone, just read a thread about Stockbridge being not very friendly though, made me think twice to be honest I am turkish and had some bad experiences in small unfriendly towns before, so wondering if it would be a bad move? or are there any other towns close to the school that I would feel more comfortable???

The Blonde   10 #9 Posted March 16, 2011 When I was at school, my best friend was from Stocksbridge. She got took out of the school because of bullying. She also said that because there was nothing to do in the area alot of her friends had started taking drugs for entertainment. I know this happens everywhere though. I can also remember that when it snowed I didn't see her for weeks, as she was always snowed in and hard to reach Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
deepcarsteve   10 #10 Posted March 16, 2011 According to the school website http://http://www.stocksbridgehigh.sheffield.sch.uk they are over subscribed. But as someone has said best speaking to the school about this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I moved to Stocky a few years ago and haven't had any problems. My neighbours are very friendly and helpful. The local kids seem fine too, many of them stop to say hello, stroke my dog etc.  Like any town there's really quite posh bits with expensive houses and there's some rough bits. I'd come and visit and get a feel for the place yourself, and ignore stupid internet trolls who've probably never even been here!  Oh and The Blonde - when it snowed I got to work in the city centre every day. I think your friends are making up excuses!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
lucieloxley   10 #12 Posted March 16, 2011 If you are still slightly tempted get a house right up by the sports center that's what I did,at least your well out of the way..lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
