A DFES boost for London Schools


I don't know how they chose which schools to match with stations, but
the schools that I know of (listed on the northern part of the
Piccadilly) are often a very long way from the stations concerned, and
in some cases are not assigned to the nearset station.

Not sure how close Seven Kings High School is to Chancery Lane, either,
and i'd be very surprised if Greenford High School and Drayton Manor
High School were at Queensway and Notting Hill Gate, respectively!


It looks like schools are vaguely assigned to the right quadrant, but
beyond that it's pot luck. The only Ealing (borough) school I can see
allocated to its nearest station is Twyford High at West Acton.
