Our daughter has just received her primary school place for September and we got our first choice (school A). I’ve since found out that 4 children from her nursery will be going to a different local school (school B) - which was 2nd on our list. I’m now in 2 minds about whether we should try to get her on the wait list for school B so that she has some pals when she starts in September, which might ease the transition for her.
Does anyone else have experience of something similar? Does it matter that she won’t have any pals going to our first choice?
Its likely that we would get a place at the 2nd choice school as all our local primary’s have had spaces for the last few years with the lower birth rate. But we preferred school A overall. Both are equal distance from our house and a 5 minute walk.
TIA for any advice
