Morning All. I wondered if any of the teachers here (or anyone else in the know) could give me some advice.
I live on a new build estate, which is next to another newish estate and then a fair few social housing streets. So quite a mixed catchment.
I’ve recently been looking at the school nurseries near me, as hoping my daughter will start the term after her birthday next March when she turns 3. She’s currently with a childminder.
The only primary school which is directly in my catchment is rated Ofsted Good but the performance is well below average. I’m trying to be careful how I word this as I am absolutely not a snob in anyway and welcome her being with children from different backgrounds but it has worried me as to whether this could hold her back if she does turn out to be particularly academic. Does that make sense?
Is this move house worthy or do I not need to worry too much? The other primary which is just out of our catchment is better but getting a place would depend on them not being over subscribed. I can however get into their nursery but that doesn’t guarantee her a place in the school obviously and that might then be daft or detrimental moving her away from friends she’s made. What to do... 🤯
