Trying to move house and apply for secondary schools by end of month!
We have looked at several secondary schools and narrowed our first choice down two- one is quite far away and one that will be local to new house.
School A, the one thats about 30 minutes away just had an amazing happy atmosphere, lots of opportunities, teachers seemed amazing and just felt right. Had the "x-factor'.Lucky a bus goes straight there from where we are moving too but would involve dc on bus for 40 mins.Quite a few kids from neigbouring villages go but maybe none as far out as us.
School B, only 5 minutes on bus, a good school and happy with ut - but didn't "grab" us as much as the other. However Im thinking as dc gets older, maybe the chance make friends on doorstep to go into town after school might be better?
Both results pretty much the same. Academically I think A has the edge and , but B might be better for the friendshop/ community side
Does anyone have any advice? Help!
