Ok I'll try and make this simple to understand. We moved at the end of March. Still in the same town. We have 5 kids. 1 in secondary (no need to move his school), 1 in juniors (no need to move his school either) and 3 at infants (1 child there is in the nursery). All of our kids have been through the same infants & juniors. 1 kid is leaving infants in September to the juniors with his brother so no issues there. The other 2 at infants are the problem. I have a son in Reception and a daughter in nursery. Our new house is slightly out of catchment for the current school & this autumn I have to apply for daughters 2019 reception place. New house backs on to another local (v good) infants. The question is... when applying for Reception for my daughter do I put nearest infants as 1st choice or the one her brother is at (which is my preferred) thus running the risk of having kids at 4 different schools? My 2nd eldest also has to apply for secondary this autumn too but he will most probably end up at special school which means 5 schools 😱. If my daughter gets offered a place at the nearest infants, should I then move her brother (who'll then be in yr1) with her? I have no family to help with school runs, I do a.m & p.m pickups myself. Husband works FT. Friend keeps asking me if I'd had thoughts about moving them to the nearest infants but I've said no because I like the one they're at and know the staff well (been going there nearly 9yrs as a mum). Thoughts welcomed.
