Currently in the process of TTC (only one month in!) alongside looking to move house. Have spotted the perfect house for us. This house is in a average/good area that neighbors a not so nice area (doesn't bother us as in a city (Birmingham) that's usually the way)
Question is there is 3 schools the house is in catchment area of- closest being 0.1 miles away, the next 0.4 miles away, third 1 mile away. The very close school is currently a poorly performing school (alongside other issues that won't ever change that personally I wouldn't be happy sending my imaginary child to) but the other 2 are great schools.
I know I'm not even pregnant, I know all this is a long time away but I wondered would other mum's move there and take the risk? I haven't got anyone to ask as all my friends don't have kids so just say 'ofsted doesn't matter, don't worry it's ages away etc'. Husband works in a school but thinks imaginary child would be able to get in school 0.4 miles away easily-just not sure.
P.s There is possibility to buy smaller house in 'nicer' area?
