We're trying to move at the moment, in time for the deadline for us to apply for school for dd who starts reception next sept.
I've always been on the relaxed side about schools, in theory anyway. It's important to me that my children go to local school and are part of community etc.
However, it's impossible not to get drawn into worrying about it when your'e looking for a house at hte very time your child is going to start school, and the more i think about it and start to look at schools I think how can you not want your child to go to a school that is deemed at least good if not outstanding?
Where we're at is we've seen a nice enough house near a really lovely school and a really lovely house near a school that has an only satisfactory ofsted report.
Which is the more important? I'm going round in circles in my mind. (obviously going to look at the satisfactory school to see what i think for myself, but still, doesn't feel quite right to spend htat much money on a house near a school that EVERYONE doesn't think is good...)
Please help me with my dilemma as deadline is looming and I'm all of a fluster!
