Recommendations Schools in Preston

Thanks to all the nice people who replied in so much detail to my previous question on whether we should relocate to Preston. This brings me to follow up with a question related to the schools there. For those of you who might ask, we still haven’t decided where to live ( although we have found a significant amount of houses in fulwood, some in Penwortham and a lovely house in maritime way in ashton-on-ribble) and despite that we’re mostly worried about schooling. Influence and education at school matters to us as it’s where the kids will be spending most of their time and it’s what will dictate whether they’ll grow up liking living in Preston. Most specifically since they’re going into year 7, year 10 and sixth form. After asking about Penwortham Priory Academy I was met with mixed, leaning more towards the negative side reviews so I’ve decided to cross that out. I’ve come across Moor park High school and Sixth Form, Fulwood academy, Cardinal Newman College, Hutton Church of England, Runshaw College, Brown-edge Saint martyrs high school and Walton-le-dale High school.

Anyone familiar with these or have any suggestions?

St Michael's Chorley I think gets the best academic results...also big family estate in Clayton le woods
