Am I nuts to choose a school 10 min drive away?

Well basically that is the question!!!

What are your thoughts I've looked at all the schools in my area and I definitely think it's the best! BUT, out of interest, in other peoples experience will the drive be more of a big deal then I'm expecting??

It's recommended that you include your catchment school as one of your 3 choices. If you don't, you could end up with a school a lot more than 10 mins away.

I would not consider 10 min a problem, We are central, and it can take easily 20 min to get to school, and it is only 3 miles away. The lovely London traffic jams!

You need to include any closer schools where you are certain of a place based on last year's data. If you ideal or 2nd choice school have been oversubscribed in previous years you do need at least one fallback.

My dd's school is a 10 minute drive away and it's the closest! The next closest would be about 15-20 minutes.

We have 1 bus a week. Should I rely on that to get to work? Does greenshoots think a different political party would lay on numerous daily buses so I could catch the train? If so what would my tax bill look like for the private bus at 6am to the train station?

what are you doing to remedy the situation? What would you do if petrol was no longer available to you? And it might become unavailable, it will, in the long run. And even whilst it is still available it is morally wrong to use more than absolutely necessary.
