We're planning on moving this year and I have just discovered that I will need to have DS's name down for school by October!
He is only 2 (July baby so will start Sept. 06) and apart from feeling rather weird at the thought of having to make a decision about where he is going to school I am feeling a bit daunted about the whole business.
I swore I wouldn't get too stressed about infant/primary education but we will be moving counties and so I just don't know anything about the 'local' schools. If we don't end up moving until the summer there won't be much time to pick up on local information or visits either.
I've been looking at the Ofsted reports and been amazed at what I've read in them (and between the lines) about some of the schools.
So, would you steer well clear of those schools where the KS1 SATs were Ds and Es or am I being ridiculous? Does anyone work in a school where they feel the inspectors were wrong or is it a pretty good picture?
