Online applications for senior schools open on 1 September. We are in the position that our local senior school is, simply, awful. It always has been. I have friends who went there 20 years ago and it was dreadful then - poor discipline, awful results, demotivated children, high turnover of teachers. Ofsted report is poor. In the past few years it has been the only school that hasn't been able to fill its quota of students - everywhere else is oversubscribed.
I won't be putting it in our list of three, but will apply for other schools in our area - some are outstanding, some acceptable - all (in my opinion) much better than our catchment school. To be honest I don't expect our DC to get allocated any of them and we shall end up with the dreadful school. I just wondered if anyone else is in a similar position?
