Have 3 dc: 6yr DS has SEN but is in mainstream DD 4 ( starts rec this sep) and DD 18 months.
We have decided to move:
Reasons for moving:
Currently DH commute at a min is 3 -4 hrs a day ( every day last week it took him 2 hrs because of the bus/tube/train)
We are in a grammar school borough and many top independent schools which we can't afford with 3 and our son would n't cope.
DD 4 has had to shoulder a lot of stress and responsibility with her brother- I don't want to/ not able to tutor her for school when DS needs are complex. ( Finally dx with ASD/SPD/ADHD jsut last month)
We have found a area that we not only can afford something bigger ( as we're downsizing )with a garden but also can afford in catchment for a number of primary schools but also 4 non selective schools.
We love the area- its greener ( DD4 has allergies and asthma- air is fresher)
And DH would walk to station and get into Lon Waterloo in 35-40 minutes
My question is when is there a good time to move school wise- ideally by sept 2016 i'd want to have moved and gotten schools sorted.
I know I'd have to do an in yr application and a couple are infant and junior schools so that throws a spanner in the works.
I guess having a surprise 3rd and finding out about our son was a total game changer.
Any advise would be so helpful and really appreciated x x x
