We are due to recieve DD's primary school allocation letter tomorrow and I am feeling really nervous now about it!
It's been on my mind all week and I feel a bit like a little one waiting for santa. It's driving me crazy! I suppose I'm more worried that she won't get into the schools we put down. Our first choice is still a possibility, but I'm not sure of the catchment areas (we were told we could apply to any school in the borough) so can't even hazard a guess that we would be successful.
Our second choice is the school she currently attends nursery. Was told today that unless we had siblings at the school or we lived on the doorstep, we wouldn't be getting in there. So I think that one is ruled out.
Knowing our luck, we will end up with our third choice (which DH and I hated but because it covered our home address we had to put it down). I'm dreading that letter telling me I have to send her there.
Home ed is not an option for us. DD will be going to school in September, but what happens if we don't get the place we want? Do we appeal? And if we do, on what grounds?
I know all I have to do is go to bed and wait for the letter to come tomorrow, but I doubt I'll be able to sleep anyway for worrying about it.
