So 99% sure we will not get the #1 choice for our Son this coming April. On a map we are the same distance from 2 schools - 1 infant brilliant, most of his peers and friends will be going there etc. Not our catchment it seems and horribly found this out after moving 2.5 years back. At the time I just checked distance rather than catchment. Idiot me.
School we expect they will give us is our last choice due to location and performance. Not a great area, not well performing and will be very upsetting to send him there. None of his peers, friends etc will be there.
Question: Does anyone have any experience of moving closer to a school they were rejected for and what happened? How likely do you think we may be able to get in where we want?
If we moved in the next 6 months (before he is due to start) into catchment for the school we want will we get in? Move down the wait list but still have to have the place we get in April?
It would probably be a move of 1/2 a mile or so. We are currently 0.9 miles from both the school we do and don't want.
Very stressful with OH on the edge so any help appreciated.
Thanks,
K
