My son is 3.5 and is going to be starting school next year so I've been told that I will need to apply this October. It''s my first time and doing all this so I'm just like argh?!
Where I live there, it is mostly infant schools which then I have to apply again for junior schools, if I've understood it correctly...
I'm feeling so overwhelmed by it all as I'm trying to not think too far ahead but I really cannot help it as I'm struggling what to do.
One infant school was put into 'needs improvement' at their last OFSTED in 2018 but the junior school that the children tend to follow onto was rated good and did above average in all Key stage 2 sats, however parents do seem to say the infant school is good.
The other infant school is rated 'Good' and people I've spoken too say the infant school but the junior school that they feed too was 'needs improvement' and below average scores in Sats and people don't seem to rave about it.
Should I focus on infant for now but I'm worried that if my son makes friends and then I send him to a different junior school, it will make a harder transition or am I just thinking about it way too much?!
Also can you see if all three schools accept you or will it only tell you if your first accept you?
Argh...it's all just so confusing!!
