We are yet to hear of the outcome of our schools application and reading all the horror stories on here I am trying to work out best option if he doesn't get a place at the infants attached to his preschool.
The head mentioned that this year two children have stayed in the preschool until places became available for them in reception (One got in in Jan and the other is still waiting).
DS1 is August born so not yet 4 and absolutely loves his preschool. They do lots of number and letter / phonics / word work so I do feel he would still be pushed there. Although some of his friends are starting reception in Sept, there would also be other children who only started pre school in January who would stay on with him.
We are 1km away from both catchment(3rd choice) and 1st choice school. 2nd choice is 1.2km. All are popular schools but 1st and 2nd would involve a walk along quiet roads where as 3rd choice / catchment involves crossing main streets in town.
So ..... has anyone been in this situation? WWYD?
PS I know that where we were on the waiting list would also make a difference but I will not know that until next Tuesday - hopefully this will all be irrelevant and we will have a place!
