I am a reception teacher and will have to start thinking about a school for my DD soon who is due to start reception in sept 2014. The school I teach at is a small primary about 25 mins away. Other staff have had their children go through school and some have their children there now. The school is currently undersubscribed but in my opinion a good school. Te head is fine with teachers teaching their own children. Our local catchment school I have heard mixed reviews about and 'requires improvement' but I haven't actually been and looked round yet. I am totally torn about what to do. On the one hand I think DD deserves a 'normal' childhood and a life away from me as she grows up. Also she would probably end up going to a separate secondary to the rest of her friends. On the other hand it would be massively convenient in that childcare would be minimal if needed at all (meeting days only really), it would be lovely to be able to see her sports days, assemblies, nativities etc. DH have talked about this lots but don't seem to be able to make a decision. Of course the school may not be able to take her anyway when the time comes but it has been undersubscribed for a while so chances are it will. Just interested in any opinions about this either way really. I'm inclined to think teaching her during her reception year rather than higher up the school would probably work out ok and personality wise I think she could cope with that. Aaaah someone make the decision for me by the time I have to decide!!
