We need to move. We have 3 girls, ages 8,6&1. Not sure if it is better to move
a) when dd1 is at start of Y5
dd2 is at start of Y3
dd3 would have to move from f/t nursery (where she is currently v. settled) to another f/t nursery for about a year until she is 3 and would then switch to state primary.
or
b) when dd1 is at start of Y6
dd2 is at start of Y4
dd3 would be already moving into state primary
or
(and this is the option a close relative thinks is best, but I think is )
c) In the summer before dd1 starts secondary (after selection dates - arrive and try and get her in somewhere decent)
When dd2 is at start of Y5
dd3 would be starting reception
Am I right that option c could mean that eldest daughter would just get put wherever there was a place, e.g. the schools no one else wants to go to - or do some schools have mandatory open places for people who move to the area?
How on earth am I going to get primary places at an okay school for two children in two different year groups?
Worrying like mad about this. Have you any advice?
