Which primary school to choose out of the two below for our reception child that starts in September? Please help!
AIBU - Local primary , 8min walk from home, good reputation over the years, ofsted rating good (last inspected last year) and many current friends from the nursery will go to this local school meaning that our kid will have some friends to begin with
AINBU - CofE primary, 15min drive, needs supplementary form from a Christian church to get in but our priest signed this form for us, good reputation over the years, ofsted rating outstanding (last inspected last year) and our kid won’t possible know any classmates.
We are Christians from a different denomination, believers and don’t mind the churchy part of the second school. We also love that it’s outstanding but the commute and the fact that our kid won’t have friends in the beginning worries us.
Please please please help us chose! Whichever we put first, we will get an offer 🙏🏻
AIBU - Go for your local good school
AINU - Go for the churchy outstanding with longer commute
