Morning! We have just moved to the border of Lewisham Greenwich.
Checked the schools out closest to us on the ofsted reports before we bought the house and it all seemed fine. Brindishe Lee is our nearest school distance wise (even though we are on the Greenwich border.
I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old and have been looking around at school pre schools. Put 3 year old's name down in Brindishe and phoned around some others. Had letter yesterday from BL saying they are having to scrap their nursery class next year to make a new reception class as they already have bulge classes and not enough spaces for demand ect....390 applicantions for 30 places.
Anyway all I keep reading about is this huge shortage of primary school places.
I am just wondering what your experiences are in the area and if it is as bad as it sounds?
Have your children been able to get places near to home or not?
Is there any chance of getting into a school nursery or should I just give up?!
I know it's a big problem in London but don't have any real experience to call mt own yet.
I will have to put 3 yr old's name down next September.
I just have visions of having to get on a packed bus every morning with a 4 and 2 year old to get to school............!
