DS is in year5. The secondary he gets into is shit, really shit. At least one third of children with English as a second language with no extra provision/funding and the catchment is rough, about 50% rough. Think Airport security to get into school.
So him going there is a BIG fat no no.
Our options.
Rent in a nice catchment, our house £1200 and to rent £1650 for same or smaller. This would mean siblings get in too, and we wouldn't rent get in and then move back for at least two years.
Send DS1 to Steiner, £5500 per annum.
Home school.
BUT DS2 goes to secondary a year later, by which time I could be working even thinking of training as a Steiner teacher (takes two years).
