I wonder if anyone could help. I have two 6 year old children already in a infant school. going up into year 2 in september. I have just had notification from my local council that my youngest who starts reception in september has not been allocated a place at this school.. They cannot place her there as they have filled they have filled each class with 30 children..
The problem i have is that we walk to school which takes us just under an hour in the mornings.. To get us there for 9 we leave at 8am. So i would be doing that with the two 6 year olds and the 4 year old.. My 4 year old actually attends the nursery of the school where her brothers go.. But still was not able to get a place there. So after that hour walk me and my 4 year old would then have to walk for another hour in the oposite direction to get her to school.. I could never expect her to walk for 2 hours in the morning and evening like this and i cant be at two schools at the same time..I just dont know what to do. I have had appeal forms sent but im told as she had been turned down on class size i dont really stand much of a chance. I dont want to have to pull the boys out of there school as they have settled in great now. I just dont know what to do.. I dont really have any family to help me and to be honest i gave up work when i had the children so i could be involved directly with the schooling etc... I wonder if anyone has experienced this and where i stand as neither school would allow the children to go in late but i cant physically be in two places at once. I dont know what to do... or were to get advice.. thanks
