Ds1 starts school next September. We live 150metres from a great school, one of the reasons we bought this house. We're on the boundary of the catchment for the next closest, equally great school - some years we'd get in, some we wouldn't.
I've never been to either school but know lots of local mums who speak well of them both. Aibu not to bother visiting the one further away, when ds is bound to get into the closer one, and all his friends will go there? We're never going to choose the further school, but everyone keeps telling me I should visit more than one 'for comparison'. I don't get it!
