I took my form into the council yesterday to accept the place for DS in his new school (reception). I was too nervous to trust the post.
Anyhow, contacted the school today and they want DS to start ASAP. Only I'd rather wait a couple of weeks. This is a bit selfish of me I know, but I have an exam on the 19th and I'm using the time he's at school to madly revise when DS2 sleeps.
The new school is 40 minutes away by public transport (is only 2 miles though but don't have a driving licence yet). Plus they finish earlier, 20 minutes earlier. So it'll be getting on for 2 hours time I'll loose in the day (old school is just 5 mins away). And I'll have to run around getting all the new uniform and doing yet more labels. Even thinking about it is stressful.
Can I insist he starts after the 19th? Personally I'd rather it was after half term which is another week, just because there'll be a natural break in school.
