Primary school offer letters came out today. According to the statistics County Durham schools are under subscribed, where other areas in the North East (and beyond) have more children than places. It was my first experience of this with my four year old DS, but it was straightforward for us as we just applied to the one school. I moved recently from an over subscribed area and I think my experience might have been very different if I still lived there. Did you get a place in the school that you wanted? If you didn't, will you appeal?
