Hi all

We've been asked to pull together some anecdotes on the lengths parents will go to to get their child into the school of their choice. This could be prepping for private school entry or working the system to get to the local (or not so local) state school. We're hoping not to get into a debate about whether parents should or shouldn't do this (there's plenty of that debate raging most days in the education topic) but going for the more ridiculous and hopefully fun tales from the school front line.
So if you jumped through hoops to get into the school gates of your choice, please tell us about it here.

Thanks

MNHQ

Thanks for the contributions so far, but please do keep em coming.

We wanted to ask as well:
why is it so important to get into the best school?
why does it end up being so stressful?

Look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Thanks as ever,
MNHQ
