Really need some advice. DD is 3 in June so we need to apply for primary school this autumn. All the mums I speak to assume that obviously I'm going to go to church to get her into Old Bexley and I feel like an awful mother for not having thought about this earlier and maybe having left it too late. I've always hated the idea of lying about my beliefs to get my child into a certain school but when it comes to it, of course, I want the best for her. And now I've realised that if we don't go to church, Hurst School is the only other real option.
So, my question is - am I too late to start going to church? How often/long do we have to go? Will it look reallly obvious why I'm going?!And is Old Bexley really that good? I know when I looked at preschools, I was obsessed with sending her to an "outstanding rated"one but in the end, found that they weren't the ones I liked.
And what about Hurst? Anyone chosen that over Old Bexley because they preferred it? Any views? I live closer to Hurst so will we just be allocated there anyway?
Any words of wisdom greatly appreciated. I'm feeling so guilty that I may have already messed up giving her a good start in life!!
