We lost in the schools lottery for my son who is currently in reception. We did not have any grounds to appeal the decision and so we decided that our only options were to either move or to pay for his schooling, whilst he was on the waiting list for our preferred school. In the meantime, our son has flourished and absolutely loves school which makes paying the huge fees much more bearable. We have been paying full fees for him and my daughter in nursery and it has been a real struggle; we're surviving though! We have been mindful of the other things that we used to do and now can't - holidays etc... and have been grappling with ourselves as to the importance of this in creating a rounded childhood for them. The thing is that we just received an offer for our preferred primary school - which would mean putting him into a class of 30 from a class of 14. Our son is the youngest student in his class (17/08) and we have been really conscious of the fact he is in a class with students almost a full year older than him. Has anyone ever been in this situation?
