Usually a lurker, first time posting in AIBU so be gentle with me!
DH has got a job in a new city, we've had a look around at some houses with our main criteria being close to an "outstanding" primary as next year DD will start reception.
The problem is that for our budget, we are getting places that are either tiny or are not in a great condition. Dh is suggesting looking at other areas, with better houses and the local primary being ofsted rated good.
Also because the deadline for applying for a primary school place is Jan 15th, I would prefer to finalize something in the next few weeks. However, estate agent have told us that this is a quiet season for them and things usually pick up after mid January. So DH wants to get a house after that time so that we would have more options and get something better. Lastly, dh plans on being in this job for about two years, so according to him, its not essential for DD to attend an outstanding primary and it wont make a big difference so early on in her education.
Am I placing too much importance on an outstanding school? What is the difference really between an outstanding school and a good one? AIBU to want DD to go to an outstanding school if it's "just" for infants?
Didn't realise it would be so long! Thanks for reading!
