Do we really find out about primary school admissions today (1st May), even though it's a Sunday? Getting a bit jittery.

That'll be a yes, then. Email received now. How did it go for everyone?

Didn't get in to schools near our new house as we moved after 15th Jan.

I could cry.

Hope everyone else fared better than we did!

Aargh MissAnthrope.

We got our 3rd option, which to be fair is our catchment school. I didn't really like it when we visited, but it has a good reputation. What it doesn't have, though, is an afterschool club or a nursery for DS2 anywhere nearby. [Watches dregs of career ambitions disappearing down plughole.)

Looks lovely! What's the secondary like?

secondary is a solid middle of the road school not outstanding or a shining light but not bad either.
It doesn't ahve a 6th form so they would go to long or Hills road

I like the fact that they have to get experience out of the village for 6th form otherwise they may be very unworldly!
