Deciding on secondary schools when one parent wants to move

Ex-H and I both have parental responsibility for our 2DC. We live close to one another in an expensive area with bad access to secondary schools (but there are ones available). DC are with me 60% of the time, this is a relatively recent change as exH is a recovering alcoholic and is doing blood tests to show sobriety and have kids overnight (not court directed but via solicitors). That’s all for context.

DS1 has dyslexia and is in a specialist primary. He can be in mainstream for secondary but will need the ‘right’ school. I’m keen to move about an hour away to a cheaper area with more school choices for both DC.

how do you agree on this? I anticipate exH will push to stay here. From what I’ve read it needs to be agreed between you but what if you can’t? Do you go to court? If so I assume exH might ‘win’ as it keeps the status quo for the other DC.

Is there no choice to find a suitable school nearer?
If you were unable to move what would be your child's options?
If you moved how would you suit out the driving arrangements?
