We live in a shared ownership property (50% share) which I bought when I was single before meeting my husband. We were recently thinking of buying it outright now that we have 2 incomes. However we have a 6 yr old ds and 8 mth old dd. The secondary school for our catchment area is a terrible school. It is that bad it has made national newspapers and I know parents of kids that go say it really is awful. It is in special measures and the ofsted report is shocking.
The dilemma is do we stay here and hope that the kids get in another school or is that too much of a risk and do we need to move house? It's a shame because we love our house and its location but I really can't send my kids to that school. It's 5 years away but I can't see it getting much better. What would people do?
