I am in total shock and need a bit of a rant!
We have just had our first choice place withdrawn due to an admin error. Despite the school checking distances 4 times by different people they got ours wrong and have taken our place away to give it to someone living nearer. The school is faith based (although we have non faith place) so can make up their own rules.
Truly devastated because I stupidly got excited and told DD that she would be going to school with all her friends from pre-school. I know she will get over it - BUT - they just didn't seem to comprehend that the whole process is an emotional rollercoaster as it is without the rug being pulled out 5 days after hearing great news.
Now we have to deal with waiting lists for schools when we thought the process was sorted - and also have to look at changing the pre-school place for my DS because I physically won't be able to get him there and get my daughter to school because of the commute between sites. AGGHHH!!!
