Would you live in a box of a house with a very good school (all 1s on ofsted)
or
a gorgeous house with a good school (all 2s on ofsted)

(ofsted 3- satisfactory 2- good 1- outstandin)

Kayah- heres the laugh
theyre 7 5 4 and 1

oosa no its not but I think I know where you mean

tis Reepham and Neatherd

DH was born over that way and grew up there (but boarded away)

Oh yes Reepham is excellent. We used to do French exchange with them. I know a couple of teachers at Neatherd. Certainly not what you'd think of as an undesirable school I think, although I haven't taught there.

Aw, quail, how cute - FIL used to have an aviary, the budgies and canaries creeped me out, but the quail were adorable.

dontcall if I win this battle you can come and stay
I have a feeling I wont though

dh has just said that sil said (he said she said) that neatherd 'had had issues there' but apparently she hadn't said what.

This all comes from a family who all went to (3 different) public schools so I feel like I actually know a little more than they do about what to look for

I can tell you my experience - secondary is more important as in priomarty you as a parent have more say in how your kids work, their ethos, punctuality, yo ucan help them much more at this stage

so my oppinion is - choose one where theres access to better secondary education
I would not laugh - we moved here for sewcondary schools when my dd was 6 months old :)
now sie is in y7 :)

Go for the best school you can find. You can always move house, but your children can't get those years back.

Have you been to the schools? Can you visit it both, we went to an outstanding one whichleft me slightly cold, good is still good.

Second house is nicer.
