Hi, We would like to move to Swansea with our children (yr 2 and yr 5) but I'm struggling to find any schools that have places in both years. Yr 2 ok but yr 5 seems full or oversubscribed (looking around Gowerton/Dunvant/Sketty and other areas). We are interested in either Gowerton high school or Olchfa so looking at feeders for those.
Has anyone managed to do a mid year transfer with more than one child? The schools say you can appeal if you don't get a space but we'd be worried about uprooting our son and him not having a school to go to. Ideally they would be starting at the same school at the same time so they have each other and he can make friends before high school.
I'd love to hear your experiences. Did your children settle? Is there anything you wish you did differently? I'm starting to think this might be a pipe dream and not actually possible!
