Hi I need some advise please.
I am overcome by anxiety that we may have chosen the wrong school for DS in September. It was between one school 10 miles away, great reputation, good results etc that he is a feeder primary so we got in. So are his 2 younger brothers. It’s a 15min drive to primary and a 20 mins drive to secondary in same town.
We chose this one due to its reputation and friends going there.
BUT I am panicking that we chose the wrong school. The other option was our local secondary 2 miles from home with a bus from the end of our road. He would know the odd face there but would be the only one from his school going. This choice was off the cards a few years ago hence the boys being in a feeder primary to a different school. But in the last 2 years it has Really improved and is coming back up. What do I do? It’s driving me insane.
On one hand I have minimal change but a 40 round trip school run (am and pm) for the next 7-14 years and this is what is scaring me. My DH can’t seem to understand that and I feel like I am mad thinking it’s a problem as I don’t work.
I don’t even know if we could get DS into local school at this late stage but as we are in catchment we might be able to even at the start of year 7. I would then move my now reception son to a local
Primary when son number 2 went there in 2 years. It seems like so much change and risk but the school run thing comes up again.
I would be driving a 16, 14, 10 year iOS to school every day in 5 years time....is that weird / nuts?
We live in a rural setting no public busses from our village .
Thanks all
