Has anyone else not made their choices yet? Pulling my hair out

Has anyone else not yet put in their choices for secondary school next year?

I've been to all the open evenings, read all of the prospectuses, been back again to open mornings, read the ofsted reports, checked the results.

I'm still no closer really to making a decision.

There are 3 realistic possibilities for ds, all 3 have their positives and negatives, none quite tick all the boxes and I can't quite weigh up how ds would get on.

For example there's no way of truly knowing whether poor results are down to the school, or the individual.

Cakey - put catchment school as third choice. Better than being allocated a rubbish school miles away.

OP I agree with you about the Ofsted Outstanding. When we were looking at schools the Outstanding Ofsted was 10 years old! What use is that? They should inspect the outstanding ones just as often as all the others.
