DH and I and dd (3.5yrs) are thinking of moving to a closeish area of London with bigger cheaper houses and two schools with good ofsted reports. In order to register DD for school we will have to be moved in by January, and as this in London we will need to live really close to our chosen school.
I had thought that we would be able to go and look around the schools now so we could decide which one was best for our daughter and chose a house accordingly. However it transpires that they can't show us around until September. Meaning we won't be able to decide on a house til Sept, and then will need to have bought and moved in in 3 months.
I really don't know what to do, I don't want to pick a school purely on the ofsted/sats. We can go to their summer fair, but that's not quite the same is it.
What would you do?
