We choose the one further away as it was Church of England (important to my wife) and on the run up to the motorway (important to me so I can drop off on route). Walking to school would be lovely but there are other issues to consider. The school is on the edge of a retail park so we benefit from its huge car park / road layout. So parking / travel to it is easy.
The local one is oversubscribed and ultimately I am sure some other family was grateful for the space. It only has a yearly intake of 30.Last edited by dx4100; 9 May 2016, 14:10.Comment

I really like little village schools. My wife works at one although they are being closed where the government can get away with it.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

I would have to walk her 2+ miles to school, then walk 2+ miles back to my house, to get into my car to drive past the school to get to work. Then factor in the average 5-6 year old not being the quickest form of life in the world. Factor forgetting the book bag, water bottle or class pet and having to go back for it. Factor in the wind, rain and snow. Factor in working for a living. Factor in what time you would have to set off and get out of bed to do it.
And then repeat it all at pick up time
Its not happening is it and I don't buy for a second you would do that either or any one else out of choice.Last edited by dx4100; 9 May 2016, 15:13.Comment
