Our son has got into a very good outstanding secondary that’s walking distance from our house.
Me and my partner have wanted to move from our area for a while now but our son is adamant he wants to stay in our current house and start his new secondary. We really don’t like the area we’re in and want to move further out (potentially countryside territory) so that we can have a more outdoors lifestyle (walking, cycling, country pubs etc). I feel depressed when I think about being stuck here for the next 6 years or so. My partner says there’s not much we can do now unless our son hates the school.
i wanted to add that selling the house would also release some equity for us which would make a difference to our lifestyles too.
