Does anyone know if there is any easy way to find areas of the UK that have plenty of (good or better!) school spaces available.
We are considering a move to a cheaper part of the uk (currently home counties) and schools are an important factor. I have one child currently yr 8 in a 'good' school and one child yr 6 who I have just applied for the same school.
We are looking to move before the next academic yr (probably spring) so I am worried my youngest wont get a school place as all the yr 7 places will of already been allocated.
So I am interested in pockets of the uk where there are plenty of good schools and I could be confident of getting them into a decent school.
I looked at Dorset and was told the county council consider a reasonable travelling distance 1 hr so they could dump you in a rubbish school absolutely miles away. Don't know if this is the same for all county councils.
So those of you in the know, where would you head for school places (and houses costing less than half a million for a 3 bed semi!!)
Thanks in advance.
