DS1 starts school in 2 years.I live in a lovely house in a deprived area where the local schools are not great(70% free school meals,Ofsteds not good).The schools I would choose are in a different area 2miles away where I go to playgroups and have friends with children the same age.We won't get in from here.We can move house to something a bit smaller in the better area and would almost certainly get into the school I like or we could just about afford private school fees and stay where we are.But is private primary school worth the money when the state primary school of my choice is outstanding?Would the school local to me now actually be that bad and does it matter when you are 4 or 5?Should I move?Should I pay? Or should I just take a risk with the school on my doorstep and save money?Anyone been in this position and what are your views?
