We've moved house recently and took DD to her new school this morning. The school had given me a reasonably good impression, it's small, the kids and staff seemed friendly... but having seen the parents in the playground I am frankly appalled. One mum had no teeth! I know I should give it a chance and all that but I just felt we were in the wrong place. We pass a lovely school which is very highly regarded on the 1.2 mile drive to DD's school, which we are on the waiting list for but only 14th (though each year has an intake of 120). Everyone going there looked lovely and wholesome...
Is it possible to appeal to the nearer school (which is less than mile from our house)?? What can we do??? We moved house because the school situation was difficult where we lived before. There it was be Catholic or suffer...
I know I am a snob and am going to get a bollocking on here. But I just don't feel like I'm going to fit in. I know no-one in our new town and was hoping school would help provide me with a new network of friends but it's not looking hopeful.

OK, maybe I'm a snob...
