We are lucky in having 4 good schools locally all of whom admitted numerous children from addresses miles further away from them than our house last year. DH and I viewed one together which we loved and which we'll puit first. as last year they admitted 29 with a PAN of 29 and the furthest distance a child was admitted from is 15 miles away I am pretty confident DD will get in (we are 3 miles away - rural area, catchment is mostly fields and ends 200m from our house). I clearly need to put 2 other schools as choices and I am pretty sure which ones however DH and I have just had a huge row because I have been alone to all the other school visits, spent hours reading ofsted reports, SATs/other DFEE reports and read loads of MN threads on reception admissions etc etc his response is "I trust your judgement, sounds like you've done your homework". Now I admit I am on mat leave thus have lots of spare time to visit schools and he's working crazy 50hr weeks on a huge scary work project but I feel really peed off that I will have done everything related to choosing a school and he seems pretty much unbothered (or AIBU and should be flattered that he can see I have some idea of what to look for?)
