Hi, name changer here so I dont out myself and fuel local (smallminded here!) gossip.
We have decided to move away and after months of discussion we know exactly what we want but are not sure where we can find it.
We would like dcs to attend a decent HAPPY properly comprehensive school - so preferably a grammar-free area. DS12, is so unhappy at his current school :(. We are really disappointed with the lack of provision (mild SEN) and lack of care (that's a whole different thread).
We want to move from the snooty area we currently live where the neighbours are so up their own arses noone speaks to anyone else! We run an internet-based business and dh works 16 hour days and more to meet mortgage payments on our house. I want us to be mortgage free so we can actually spend some money enjoying life. We can move ANYWHERE but would like to be in a friendly neighbourhood with a sense of community. Maybe in a market town? Our budget would be around £300,000.
Ideally I would like dcs to be in walking distance of school - its healthy , sociable and good for independence.
Any ideas?

Do your dcs attend a happy and decent mixed comp? Can you buy a 4 bed house for £300,000 within walking distance?
