Hi, my sister's moving to the Chesterfield area soon and needs to know about primary schools - it may not be for a few months but she wants to move to an area where there's a good school for her 9 year old dd.
So, is there anywhere/any school to avoid? Which schools are good - if you have a child at school within eight miles of Chesterfield, would you recommend their school?
And how does admissions work for people joining an established school, rather than starting in reception?
NB her dd has additional needs. Doesn't affect intellect but does sometimes affect communication or behaviour - not in a negative way but can do some stuff that might seem a bit out of the ordinary. So a school where the other kids are going to be kind and not phazed by difference would be great.
All advice gratefully received...
