Hi, my daughter (4 yrs old) has been offered a place at two schools that equally have excellent reputation. One is a small school (20 pupil per year) and the other is bigger (2 classes per year with bigger playground etc), but they are both such wonderful schools that basically I cannot choose! The smaller school will be a car journey (10-15 mins if no traffic... but just don't know how bad the traffic would be during the school run hours- it could take 30mins if it's very bad, can't it...). The bigger school is much further from where we live now, however, we could move to a nearby area, even within walking distance. A lot of parents I talk to say that it helps to live close to the school. I totally understand that...but how much? Am I going to regret it if I end up having to drive as long as 30mins each way everyday for the next 7 years? Are you, or do you know many parents who are doing that, and what do you/they think? I need to choose by the end of next week. I could do with some thoughts from everyone. Thank you!
