We moved in to what is considered a less desirable part of town 3 years ago. You know the sort of place people say "oooooo blatown is that not really rough".
My son attends the local primary attended the nursery attached previously and goes to after school care there (DH and I work full time).He knows all the kids in the school, all the staff know him.
We are looking to buy a bigger house (new baby lots of visitors) and had been looking in different areas "good areas" but now I'm not sure.
DS is about to start p2 he is thriving, has lots of friends, doing great in school (very gregarious ott kid) they handle him firmly but fairly, I like the other mums in the school (not friends but nice people) yes there are one or two I would definitely not approach to discuss our kids ( there have been run ins). Things I find difficult are that a lot of kids in his class are all 5/6 and they just wander the streets on there own. My concern is if his peer influences are doing that at 5/6 what is no one caring they are doing at 16. Apart from that I feel a great sense of community in area.
Seems all external influences think we should move him out of the school but I like the new head and the people I've met. Does it matter? AIBU to not move him to the "best" school possible.
