Did anyone here go to the same school as their kids?

[WomenHour]

Just seeing how common it is

Not kids but me and my mum went to the same high school.

Nope, but my niece is about to start at the same primary me and dsis (her mum) went to.

Yes, my children attend the same primary school that I went to.

Yes! My grandpa, my dad, me and my daughters Have all been to the same school.. We are in a rural farming community though!

I went to the same secondary school as my dad and his siblings. 3 teachers were still there that taught him. When old enough my DC will also go there.

I moved back to the small village where I was born before I had my children. They were then the sixth generation of my family to go to the (only) village primary school. Headmaster showed them some log book entries about me, my mum and my grandad. It is a great school and I love the history we have with it.

my kids go to the same primary school that their great grandma went to, so 4 generations.

I remember a PE teacher at my high school retiring and saying she didn't mind when girls at the school said she taught their mum, but decided it was time to retire when someone said she taught their grandmother!

Nope! Totally opposite ends of the country

I know lots of parents in DS's year have children starting the same school they went to next week - secondary. One even has the same tutor group ( number not teacher)!

I went to the same secondary school as my mum, and had the same 1st year form teacher! My mum said she'd thoight she was ancient when she was there, she retired after my 1st year.

Moved away, so my children have gone to different schools.

I went to the infants/juniors of the school my mum did secondary at (not UK school, goes from age 4- 18/19).

Where I live now have a first/middle/high school system. It is a well loved system, which a lot of my local friends went through. Many of them moved back to the area for their dc to do it too.

I went to the same junior high and started at the same high school as both my parents. I had the same vocal instructor as my mother, who was convinced she would be very memorable but nope. I was very glad to transfer out & that my kids are going elsewhere.

My eldest goes to the same high school as I did. Not because I wanted her to follow me but from options available around us it was the better option and this was the school she loved after seeing it and it specialises in subjects she is interested in.

My youngest is likely to follow her sister next year. What I will say is it is very weird seeing teachers who taught me now being my daughter's teacher Haha.

My grandad, dad, myself and my children all went/attend the same primary school. My children will attend the high school I went too.

Yes. Not much choice as we moved back home to be with my DM because she was ill.

I attended the same high school as my mum.
My ds started at the same primary school o attended

Yes mine do and my parents are still round the corner. I get that I'm recreating my own childhood for them but I don't regret it

Yeah I went to the same primary and secondary schools as my mum. A couple of the same teachers in each, too (about 20 years difference, so not a surprise they'd still be working).

I don't, although I live back in the area I grew up in, but a lot of the parents at school are ex-pupils and it surprises me a bit because it's in London and there's generally a fairly high level of people moving in and out of the area. But obviously there's also a stable set of locals who do settle down where they grew up.

I used to teach in a medium-sized town in a different region of England, much more sparsely populated and it was a faith school which mainly attracted people of that faith. It seemed like nearly every family in the school were multi-generational pupils. We had one family where both the mother and her son worked at the school and the grandkids were pupils.

Went to same secondary school as my mum and pretty much everyone else on her side of the family. I grew up in a very small town and it was the only secondary school around so...

I have moved to a different town and won't be moving back so DS will be going to a different school.

DC go to the same schools DH went to, primary and secondary.

I went to one of my mum's primary schools (she emigrated here as a child, but started school in her birth country), we weren't in catchment for her secondary.

Yep. Primary, middle and upper

Actually DC went/go to the same primary as MIL did. She started school in 1935. That kind of blew my mind as my own family moved about a fair bit.

DBro has taught in the same school for over 30 years. He is now teaching the grandchildren of people he taught on teaching practice.

My kids go went to the same primary as I did and my dad went to the smaller school which became that school.

Me and my mum did. We also had the same teacher. Considering my mum was 40 when she had me I thought that was unusual. My mum was in her first class. I was in her class the year she retired.
