To move DC from an 'Outstanding' rates school to a school in' special measures'

I'm torn. We are all set to move back to our home town. Beautiful part of the world, family support around us for the first time, and we can afford to buy a house there. We would definitely have much more disposable income too.

Currently live in a very affluent part of the country, and with that comes fabulous schools.

Eldest dc is due to start high school in September, and would be going to an Outstanding rated school. It's very sought after and well regarded.

We don't like it around here, and house prices keep on climbing (currently rent). We simply cannot afford to live here even if we wanted.

The only negative about moving, is the school my DC would go too. It's currently in Special Measures but a plan for transformation is underway next year or so.

I feel so bad at the prospect of taking my DC away from something good to something that really doesn't sound great, although so many other positives for us as a family with this move.

AIBU to move? I suppose this is a more wwyd?

Can you tell us about the school 20 minures away? What's it like? Have you visited it?
