My dd starts school in Sep. For years we've been planning on sending her to the school in the town where we used to live (about 3 miles away) and she got a place at that (very good) school. However, I have recently found out that I am pg and I am now very tempted to send her to our (also good but maybe not very good) local school, which we can walk to.
There are several stumbling blocks to the local school choice: a)it's C of E and my dh is a committed atheist. While I also would prefer a non-denominational school, I'm less committed to the idea.
b) there is only one other girl (who dd knows and likes) in the reception class (a class of about 13).
However, the fact that it is our village school and the fact that we can walk there really overrule those drawbacks (in my mind). Also other school has three receptions with 28 kids in each class - will dd get a better education in smaller, more family-like school, esp as it is 'only' primary?
