No school places near me

[Threebutterflies]

Hiya
As title says I can’t get my daughter into a school we’re we live so have decided to move over the summer holidays . We need a place for year 6 in September. Does anyone know any primary schools that need pupils ? Anywhere in country as we have no ties here. You can PM me of your don’t want to reply on here . Thanks

Is this a weird way to find out where posters live as you have asked people to send you their postcodes? Odd

Totally off topic but how do you not have a contract for your rental place now? Isn’t there a law about these things if they are responsible landlords? I might be totally naive though as I’ve never rented.

Do you have a job at the moment as well? Any savings for a rental deposit on a house as as far as I’m aware you need a deposit?

I feel like you haven’t fully thought this through OP.

A child doesn't just become desperately unhappy at school overnight though, do they? I am assuming the OP has had the opportunity and time to be a bit more responsible and do some planning.

If you have other children are they on board with such a drastic change? Is it possible you will just take the issues with you and find yourself in a more tricky situation?

No but things can come to a head quite quickly. We had this with a child who was very unhappy and we had met with school a few times to discuss. Child then started refusing to go to school (stating they would rather kill themselves than go), meeting with head and class teacher was set up for the following week, meeting did not inspire confidence at all - so what do you do at that point?

We had advice from another head that up till age 13 ish if they are that unhappy then it is better for them to be taken out and home schooled while you are finding another place.

Every situation is different and I’m not saying the OP has or hasn’t done the right thing, because we don’t know all the ins and outs, but you can’t say there was definitely an alternative way.

Central Scotland - I know this town - lots of primary schools, big high school, and this flat is walking distance to Tesco and Lidl (as you don’t drive) and has a food production factory which is always recruiting staff.

ive asked for schools postcodes which I can get anytime off google? Even if people say what part of the country they live what on earth could I do with that information??
Im in Birmingham so now what ?

@Spacemonkey2016
stop being so judgmental. I’ve deliberately not gone into the whole backstory as it’s long , complicated and not really relevant to the thread or what I’m asking. If you don’t have anything helpful to say , don’t reply to my thread .

@SheWoreYellow
someone with some sense! Yes there’s a long backstory to this and a lot has gone on. People don’t realise how it can affect a child when there’s problems at school.
