Kids Education
Where we stay - there is a great primary & secondary school about 3 miles away. Both schools have good reputations & the secondary in particular a good record of both academic\ sporting achievement. Unfortunately - we don't fall in the catchment area.
However - we got our daughter into the primary school via a placement request 7 years ago. However, we just received the refusal for the secondary school this morning. The secondary school she now has to go to being further away than the one we wanted her into ... !! It also doesn't have that good a record for academic achievement We're going to take a few days to think it through. Thoughts on table are : - - appeal (although been advised there are others ahead of us on list due to having siblings at the prefered school who also got knocked back) - sell house\ move into catchment area (extreme but the idea on the table) - Go private (v expensive for us but could do if we tightened our belts big time over next 5/ 6 years) - Give the secondary school in our catchment area 1 year & if we don't like it at that point pull her out & go private Anyone been in a similar situation where been in a difficult situation with your kids schooling ??? |
