Looking for your advice please! We recently moved house and my daughter has been offered a reception place at the local state school, we are really unhappy with this school (from local feedback the teaching is poor quality, have been issues with bullying, overall quite a rough school). We are 6 on the waiting list for a nicer school nearby, and have been advised there tends to be lots of movement in August so we may get a place there. We also found a local private school that will really stretch us financially (esp. as we have baby no.2 due end of the year and I will be on mat pay) - would mean I'd have to go back to work after around 6 months in order to pay for everything (plus we'd have to pay childcare for child 2 and I worry about the effect on that baby of me going back to work so early). Would you a) start her at the local primary (maybe it's not as bad as I think?) and hope we get in somewhere else on the waiting list b) start her at the private school and hope we get in somewhere else on the waiting list C) any other suggestions based on your own experiences?
