To move..

So I have posted on chat, but maybe need some more opinions..

I have been asked to apply for an assistant head role at a school (obviously not guaranteed to get it anyway). This school is in a different county from us, but the same town as my MIL, SIL etc who we have an ok relationship with and my young sons have an excellent relationship with.

My eldest is in year 2, my middle son reception, youngest not in school yet.

Is it fair to move them school (if I were to apply and get this job) has anyone moved school at that age, and it have adverse affects on them?

They are my priority and whilst the job role is considerably more money, for me the important thing is their well-being so if it’s likely to be more than a temporary disruption I won’t even consider it. My husband thinks it’s no big deal - I think it might be. Anyway - Yabu he’ll be fine, move him schools and take the job. Yanbu turn the job opportunity down.

How far is the commute? And no I dont think changing primary school is a huge deal. How are the secondary schools?

Secondary schools are good, as a primaries. No better or worse than where we currently are.

Commute is 75 minutes either way - without traffic x

What age is year 2? 7 ish? Sorry Scottish so always have to google it! With the in-laws being there it might be a great move, what ties do you have in your town now?

Both tier 3. House not even on market yet, and job would be a September start.
