Hi,
We have just set up a new website called www.schooltalkuk.com where parents and carers can ask questions and discuss finding and getting into good schools in your area.
Even before your child starts school there are a hundred questions every parent asks,
"whats the best school in my area?"
"How hard is to get a place at my favourite school?"
"what is the best way to improve the chances of getting my child into a good school?"
"what do I do if my child does not get into my chosen school?"
We found that when we were looking for a school for our daughters in our local area, there were hundreds of websites dedicated to providing you with Ofsted reports and league tables, but we realised that often the goverment results did not always give a true reflection of a school.
We really wanted to talk to other parents in the area who could tell us more about the best and worst schools near us and offer advice on the best ways to get a place at those schools.
Our website will also cover topics such as catchment areas/the appeal process/finding a tutor/11-plus, really anything to do with the school system that you want to talk about.
So please join in and get posting those questions or pass on some of your great advice. Look forward to seeing you on www.schooltalkuk.com.
