Luckily the school we are zoned for, for elementary, is rated one of the best in our state. I love my son's teacher and hope that she teaches again next year and that my daughter who will be going into kindergarten will get her as a teacher.

My son is only 3 but I'm already worrying about it because the school nearest to us isn't our catchment school (stupid right?) and the catchment school is a 30 min walk (I don't drive). Already so worried he won't get in. All the best of luck to you!

We got our catchment and then a week into the school year in September we got told she had a place at our first choice...however she had already made some great friends at her school and seems to really love it so we kept her there. It's been a bit hellish for us over the cold/rainy months with neither me or my partner driving and the school taking half hour to walk there each way! Still, two hours walking a day is good for you right? Still not convinced! #bestandworstkayleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07192057986770835676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960129283945951675.post-44992135420836905932016-04-13T07:21:03.807+01:002016-04-13T07:21:03.807+01:00Good luck we find out about the girls school next ...Good luck we find out about the girls school next Monday nervous times thanks for for hosting #bestandworst Nigelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05381709704931990827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-960129283945951675.post-39253778994952933752016-04-13T07:09:44.150+01:002016-04-13T07:09:44.150+01:00Just popping back through #bestandworst.

We have two September babies so we have another year before the dreaded wait, but we also want to get our children into a small rural village school that has a brilliant Ofsted report but is totally outside our catchment area. Our local school looks lovely and is on the doorstep, but has a historically poor report. I will be like a cat on hot bricks this time next year! Good luck lovely.
