I would really appreciate some advice on a topic thats so hard for me.
My DD1 has attended a nursery out of catchment for 2 years that i sent her with the intention of getting a place at the school, which has excellent achievements.
However when the places were allocated she did no receive her place and was allocated 2nd choice.
I decided to appeal the decision and have recently now been allocated a place. However on the flip of the coin, whilst we were going throgh the horrible prospect of looking for an alternative school we discovered an amazing prep school, which my mother in law is more than happy to pay for as money is no issue for her. My daughter really likes the prep school too.
In some ways i wish i had never appealed the decision as i would not be faced with this dilema.
I mentioned to my husband and mother in law about just letting her go to the school with all her friends but they really have their heart set on this prep school now.
It is an amazing school and i know my daughter would benefit better and have better attention. Yet my heart is still with the school attached to her nursery.
I feel so sad she has a place there but have to give it back after i wanted it for so long.
Also even it isnt my money as we could never afford it ourselevs, i am worried if it is a wasted on such a young age??
Would really appreciate your views on this.
