Fact: we have a specific budget, a child who is nowhere near secondary so far (about to start year 2) & are thinking of relocating in a nearby area (we have some other options) that we like & can afford. For the amount we can afford, we can buy an OK 3 bedroom house in a number of areas. However, they either don't have secondaries at all or they're 'needing improvement'.
For the same amount of money, we would most likely be able to get a 2 bedroom flat in the areas where there are some better secondaries.
AIBU to want to ignore the issue, choose the area we like & can afford, get more space for our money, and put my head in the sand a bit for secondary in the hope that the 'requires improvement' school/s might improve within the next 5 years? Or that other options might possibly become available within the years, and in the meantime we'll have more space & thus enjoy our home life more?
(Not sure if this should have gone to WWYD thread rather than AIBU but here goes)
