Love my street, love my neighbourhood, really worry about the schools. We have 3 decent primaries within easy reach and are out of the catchment area (500m.) of all of them. Don't go to church so can't even try with the local C of E school. The other two nearest schools have bad ofsteds, high staff turnover, poor facilities, etc etc. Am I going to have to do the shit middleclass thing and move/rent a flat in right catchment area? Is there any chance of getting a place at the 'nice' schools if we wait and enter late, eg after 5th birthday?
Am deeply ashamed and depressed by the whole dilemma, of course, so please don't beat me up about it.
