Hi, we've found a house in reigate which we love, but it seems to be outside of the effective catchment area from parish church school gates (we'd be about 650m away and this year the limit is 408m). If we fail to get into the parish by going to church regularly, we will have to look at schools like sandcross and dovers green, which are both about a mile away. Here are our worries:
- If we go to church regularly, what are our chances of getting into parish, given that we are quite close?
- If we fail to get into parish, is it much harder getting into priory as parish is a feeder school?
- If we get into Dovers green or Sandcross, is traffic going to be a major issue at drop off and pick up? We don't have off street parking.
Really grateful for any advice!
