kevchantz Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Hi, First post on here! We are re-locating back to Sheffield from down south and the area has change a lot in the past 15 years that it's been. I am looking to buy a house in Eckington and put my little boy into Birk hill school. I wondered what the school and area is like? We have searched on line and visited the area and all looks ok. Any help/advice is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eckolad Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 The is nothing wrong with Eckington really, the school is good enough Its a typical ex mining village, bit backward and people might look at you like you are from outer space. But its handy for the motorway, easy to get in to Sheffield and Chesterfield. Also house prices are better priced then in sheffield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevchantz Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 Nice one many thanks, we are trying to arrange a look round the school and a look at some more houses. From what we have seen we prefer this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevchantz Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 Many thanks, i think we are pretty much set on Eckington now. Are only worry in all of it is about our little one settling in a new school. He has only just started school this year so is young enough to hopefully adapt easily. He's very outgoing so we're hoping all will go well. thanks for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
