moving in 3.5 weeks - sudden decision and was panicking about getting DS1 into a good school!

I have just had confirmation that he has got a place at our first choice which was supposed to be full! I guess someone else must be moving!

I am delighted as it is really close to where we are staying and looks like a great school.

Still weird that he is going to school in September though! He isn't even 4 yet and wouldn't go to school here (Scotland) until next August.

I am going to cryyyyyyy

He is ecstatic.

Thanks

MamaG · 14/06/2007 12:58

oh, I think you know what I'd say

Thanks

lulumama · 14/06/2007 13:00

it is such a great school, do you know which teacher he is having??

they are so wonderful at settling the littlies into school, the reception is seperate to the rest of the school, and there is a seperate playground, so should not be too overwhelming

Thanks

lulumama · 14/06/2007 13:01

DH thinks i am bonkers!!! have been dancing around saying 'there's a mumsnetter moving near us and her DCs will be at school with ours !!!'

what year is DS2 starting, 2009 ?

Thanks

schneebly · 14/06/2007 14:51

MamaG! I know just fine!

lulumama - I don't know who his teacher will be yet - waiting on stuff from the school. It sounds like a good setup I managed to find the prospectus online so that was useful!

DS2 would go in 2009 I think DOB 04/01/2005

My DH thinks I am bonkers too! He gave me a face when I said I was going to meet you. I think he thought you might be a hairy-handed trucker! I have set him straight.

schneebly, did your DH get the big St. A's job then???

Thanks

schneebly · 14/06/2007 15:00

Expat - He was shortlisted but went for the one in Southport. More money, 4 bed house, utilities paid and more of a challenge for him!

expatinscotland · 14/06/2007 15:01

Thanks

lulumama · 14/06/2007 15:04

Thanks

schneebly · 14/06/2007 15:04

schneebly · 14/06/2007 15:06

lulumama - I was going to ask about that. I am going to have to get DS2 registered for that too aren't I!?

OP posts:

Thanks

lulumama · 14/06/2007 15:10

yes, as long as he is two, can put his name down..as DS1 will already be at the school, he will take priority...children with siblings in school always do...

Thanks

schneebly · 14/06/2007 15:11

Do I go through admissions again or direct to the school?

OP posts:

Thanks

lulumama · 14/06/2007 15:12

not sure... i went to the school direct to apply for DS, but if you have been in contact with admissions already, you can always ask them..not applied for DD yet as not 2 !

Thanks

schneebly · 14/06/2007 15:15

I think I will phone the lovely Mr Pedie in admissions again! He was helpful the last time!

lulumama · 14/06/2007 15:16

have you finished packing yet?

Thanks

expatinscotland · 14/06/2007 15:17

It'll be warmer there, at least .

Thanks

schneebly · 14/06/2007 15:39

lulumama - I haven't finished dumping yet! SIL wanted to look after the boys tonight so we are going out to a pub quiz so not very productive!

expat - it does seem to consistently be a few degrees warmer! The house seems to be a good size but I wont see the inside until we get there!
