My DD starts reception in September. As all local schools are massively oversubscribed and I'm not prepared to pretend to be religious, we only have one school that we've any chance of getting into (the other community schools are more than a mile away). I've just been to a tour of said school. It's rated 'good' but I just don't like it very much. There was loud music blaring in some of the classrooms, the results are poor, and whilst this does reflect the intake, I wasn't convinced that sufficient emphasis is placed on achievement. I feel worried that it's not the right school. But there doesn't seem to be anything I can do. Did anyone else feel like they were 'settling' on a primary school, only to be pleasantly surprised? Do you think it's worth mentioning my concerns to the Head teacher, or is that not the done thing before you actually have a child there? Is it worth applying to other schools and hope that a space comes up on the waiting list?
