hi everyone my dilema is: we are in the process of trying to move house for better schools. i really wanted to be moved in time for the beginning of the school year. unfortunately this is looking highly unlikely now as weve just been let down by a couple who said they wanted to buy our house then changed their minds
i really dont want for the girls to have to move schools after only a few months, especially as my youngest is only starting school for the first time in september & may get confused by differing methods.
i always said that if we had exchanged contracts on a house before start of term then i would commute them to the new school even though its a long old trek & the youngest is only going to be part time until after christmas, which would mean hanging around with her for 2 hours before picking up my eldest every day. not ideal especially in bad weather. i do have an uncle in the area but i cant go there every day.
anyway im considering commuting them there anyway because their education is so important & the school has just had a fab ofsted report (all goods & outstandings) its a far cry from dds current barely bog standard school & i was very very lucky that the school had places for both my dds for september when they are quite often oversubscribed, & theres a real possibility we could lose the places if they dont start then.
anyway opinions please? what would you do? am i mad to consider doing this when it could be months & months before were actually living in the new area?
