The usual, trying to choose school preferences for PFB DS for Reception. Spring birthday, for what that's worth. Seems bright-ish but slow in self care, not the most gregarious.
Options are A: catchment school, new head, 2 form entry, walking distance. Feels a bit dingy and very loud inside as entirely open plan. School tours done by yr 6s, little chance to chat to head. Heavy sport emphasis. Will almost certainly get in. Wrap around care a bit dismal (trekked off to a grotty building elsewhere in town).
School B: 4 miles cross country drive. We loved the school on the tour - all sorts of little things. Village school with 1 form entry. 50-50 whether we get a place. Wrap around care much better. Feels much more nurturing. Rapid development of facilities.
Similar Ofsteds, demographics and academics.
Thoughts, anyone? Didn't think it would be so difficult!
