which school? Please please be honest

[Deedadee]

- which would you choose for your little one(s)
scenario 1 - 3 minute walk to both infant and junior school, Offsted at average grade of 3, school on the up with new headmistress that has some great ideas
or
Scenario 2 - 15-20 minute walk to infant school with further 20 minute walk to junior school (both children will be at either school by time second one starts school), better offsted with grade average of 2, with a headmistress that has been there 10 years that has a very settled, well run school.

Difficult choice isn't it. Do you know anyone whose children attend either school, maybe you could talk to them? Also maybe you could arrange a visit to each to have a look around. Ask lots of questions. Good luck
