a primaire place no longer gives you priority to the attached secondaire and why should it when more than 50% of children are at primaires not attached to secondaires? (Well this year is the last year of that priority and you also had to be enrolled in 2007 to have benefitted from it) So you must apply separately to secondaires. Having said that, Le Verseau in the last 3 years when they have published the vacancies for secondaires, Le Verseau has not once filled all its secondaire places. The primaire is oversubscribed but the secondaire is undersubscribed. The oversubscribed secondaires in Wavre are Notre Dame de Basse Wavre and Providence.
Wavre to Zaventem is a terrible commute for you. It will also mean more time for your daughter in garderie in primaire and when she is older, more time at home without you. I cannot personally see any attraction in that, I'd only consider Le Verseau if I lived AND worked within a 5km radius, even then the 4.5k fees come with controversy, as the French first language children only pay 1k per year!!! Add on the cost of lunches, garderie, you're likely to pay over 5k more than being at the French primaire down the road from Le Verseau or the primaires in Brussels, all for what? Less time at home, more commuting time, more expense on fuel? I cannot think of an advantage, as you can do private individual English lessons in your own home for less than the fees at Le Verseau where your child will be 22 in a class!
Given a choice between Claire Joie and La Farandole or La Colombe de la Paix or le Paradis des Enfants, that is the 4 communal schools in Etterbeek, I think you'll find most locals will say Claire Joie is the least sought after. I think you'll find you will only be able to enrol at one single communal school in Etterbeek, so if you enrol at Claire Joie, you will not be able to enrol at La Farandole.
Given a choice between Ste Anne and the communal schools in Etterbeek, I think you'll find most locals will say Ste Anne is more sought after and my guess is you will find yourself on a waiting list there and possibly no offer of a place from the waiting list.
Do you actually have a place at any school? You can't enrol/inscribe unless you have a place, you can ask for your name on a waiting list. Have you been to visit any of the schools yet though?
A choice between Ecole Communale de Stockel and Ecole du Sacré-Coeur de Stockel. Both have great reputations, Ecole Communale de Stockel scores 18 on the socio-economic index, Sacré-Coeur de Stockel scores 19, there is little in it other than choices of para-scolaire, facilities like gym and library, garderie facilities (or lack of), size of school, activities of the Parents' Association.
The most sought after secondaires in WSP / WSL / Etterbeek are Mater Dei, College Don Bosco, Sacré-Coeur de Lindhout, Dames de Marie, St Michel and they are all heavily oversubscribed, meaning you need to choose your nearest primaire and make sure your chosen secondaire is also your nearest (under current admissions which have change little in the past 4 years) in order to maximise your chances of a place. If you live in Etterbeek, getting a place at St Michel is very very hard even if it's your 2nd nearest school, so where you live in relation to primaire and secondaire is essential. In WSP, there are less schools and more chance that you'll find somewhere nearer to desired primaire and secondaire. So do NOT choose a primaire school for definite until you've checked that your new housing will be place this school 1st nearest (2nd nearest will probably be ok in WSP) and that your choice secondaire is 1st nearest (again in WSP 2nd nearest will probably be ok). To give you an example of how essential this is, if you stayed where you are now and enrolled at your 1st nearest primaires which are La Farandole or St Stanislas, getting a place at the nearby sought after secondaires of St Boniface, Sacré-Coeur de Lindhout, Dames de Marie or St Michel will be quite slim, you'd get a place at Jean Absil and maybe Charles Janssens. If you moved to WSP(Stockel) and made sure the 2 Stockel schools were your nearest, you'd have a pretty good chance of a place at the 1st and 2nd nearest secondaires in that area which are likely to be College Don Bosco and Mater Dei.
