Thanks tiggy as suspected. I put one out of 4 local schools to the left of my house. 2 streets over to right but within mile are 5schools all different county as we slap bang on border. In fact some other county residents are nearer to 1st choice and 3rd choice as both schools within my la but closw to border.
The other local authority under no obligation offer me place.
Also my own county offered me an unworkable place so they done their duty.
Rock and hard place spring to mind.
I could just about do 2 schools if time and distance worked.2 schools other county near eldest school not great hence they have spaces but feel home ed best option there is.
Does anyone remember measuring toll in primary was like hard stick with big rotating circle to measure distance maybe we all need one walk straight line door to door.
Some.schools have like 2 or 3 hates. Guess they just use reception.
I know lots people same street offered wildly different schools some wish they could swop.
I expect if none of choices be offered same as before or somewhere more obscure and random 3 schools spring to mind that would be under most are over as most people want any school..
In fact school a nearest one I dislike mostly full of kids from another county trying avoid their bad schools grass is always greener.
I looked around few schools people raved about ans dident feel the love it's like houses.
Some people accepted allocated school and are happy but every families different and accepting school would have been unfair all 3kids and worn them out.
I'm holding out for school 1.will prepare appeal soon for day and ask nursery if they keep do longer.
