to think this primary school is being extremely rude?

We have recently moved (took much longer than we hoped) so DC4 was put on the waiting list for the school 2 mins walk away as he is due to start Reception in September.

He was offered a place last week and initially I was delighted as some of his nursery friends will be going to the same school so I called the school and asked if I could arrange a visit for myself and DS so he could see his school and I could have a look round as I know nothing about this particular school. I wanted to look around before I accepted the place really.

I was told rather abruptly that the school was 'too busy' to facilitate us visiting the school and we would have to wait until we were invited in at the end of June for a settling in session.

I later emailed the school questioning this as when my older 3 DC have changed schools I have never been told that I could not look around whatever school they were going to. The school have not even responded to my email.

AIBU to think that this is really rude and I am quite perturbed about my DS starting there now if they are this rude before DC even start there!

i do not see why a sats week would mean the whole school would go into lock down!

i think that you need to point out that you have moved and not had the opportunity to look round and need to decide whether to accept. maybe they got the wrong end of the stick?
