Hello
As title really -
I want to apply for a school out of our catchment (we have only one school in the catchment area).
The school we want - KP - is the same distance drive but not in the catchment. The main reason is myself and said childs' Dad are separated and this school is on the route between both our homes. It would make a lot more sense for us to have her in school here, and her little sibling is in the nursery in that village already (but won't be going there forever so it's not a very valid reason).
The catchment school is in the opposite direction and is also the opposite direction for my work.
I'm just wondering if our two-home set up is something they consider.
The catchment school is very small and undersubscribed and I like it, but it won't help our already tough to manage routine of journeys, picks up, and shared parental care.
I'd love to hear the experiences of others. Boring post I know, I am sorry!!!
The school I am after was oversubscribed but I am aware of kids getting places out of the catchment last year, which I don't understand
Thank you
