check and confirm details.Ok fine, filling in the blanks and one of the questions was how does your child travel to school
car
walk
bus
school bus
train
London underground
We live in Cumbria? This form was from Cumbria county council?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I'd put London underground just to see the reaction

brimfull · 01/02/2007 22:55

lol you have to tick that box!!

fransmom · 01/02/2007 22:55

that's councils for you - not an ounce of common sense between them

Thats what happens when you steal another Boroughs format and forget to proof read it! PMSL
Please tick the underground box.

I'm sure we have had a similar one in the past from the council asking to tick a box about which religion - it is a catholic school!

I'd be tempted to invent a journey that starts with the no. 24 bus, goes onto the Northern Line, Euston (think that's where you'd get a train to Cumbria?), change at Carlisle, branch line, taxi, local bus, hop, skip and a jump...

fransmom · 01/02/2007 22:59

and a whistle-wheeeeeee-woooo

astronomer · 01/02/2007 23:00

And all for free as it is over three miles

controlfreaky2 · 01/02/2007 23:00

astronomer that wasnt a mistake, just trying to flush out the pretending to be catholics for a good education brigade

astronomer · 01/02/2007 23:01

I don't think our council are that bright

MrsSpoon · 01/02/2007 23:16

roisin · 02/02/2007 18:59

Had to be sensible and go with walk!Especially since we are only about 150yards from the school.

Only had one for Dd1 not dd2 so don't know if its to do with her changing this time.

We had the same transport question on our school form.I think most schools use a a common computer system these days, and a lot of the selection options are general ones that can not be changed.
