I have a bit of a dilemma. DD is at a lovely small primary school. I am the chair of the PTA of said school. It had for a few years a low intake but this year it was oversubscribed for the Sept intake.
ANyway the headteacher wants me to speak at the open day, attend coffee mornings etc to ensure the following years intake is good again.
Here is my dilemma. DS will be in that years intake. We live a fair distance from the school. DD got in there because she started mid year and there were spaces. She will have moved on to another school across the road when ds starts so the sibling rule will not apply. DH doesn't want me to help recruite because it may well mean that ds doesn't get into that school. So I am torn between my loyalty to the school and the good of my son.
Now I am not so full of myself to think that I will make such a huge difference to peoples decisions as to wether to apply for the school, but if I sway 1 person and ds misses by 1 place....
Not really looking for answers just wanted to rant a bit!
