Primary schools :/

What? This is news to me too?!!! Our kids don’t start school until Sept 27?! How the hell can we put a kid on a waiting list for 3 years time?! 🙈
You can only put their names down/ on a waiting list for the school nursery. Application for school/ reception places are made through the council the January prior to their September start date.
Primary schools are done by various criteria - first come first serve is NOT one of them. Nurseries and nurseries attached to schools can have waiting lists but not actual schools
Yep started looking at colleges too
@Megan 🤣🤣🤣💀
Thank you mamas, really appreciate the replies. I won’t be talking to other mums after this tho 😬
hi, just out of interest why won’t you be speaking to other mothers after this? is it because of the replies on this post or is it because of the person you spoke to who had told you that your kids should be on a waiting list for schools already? when i read your post i was a bit confused because they wouldn’t start until september 2026 or 2027 (my girl is end of august)
My God I thought I was going crazy reading this post 😅😂 My July 2021 starts school next year in September and the application process only starts from January! Our September 2022 kids only start school school in September 2027! 😅
@~ Miss Ritaa🦋 It’s because I have had several conversation with other mums another different topics that have left me feeling anxious about something or another. For example in this instance, I left the convo feeling so anxious bcos another mum handled things differently and told me she started the process of looking for primary schools at the same age as my daughters. That left me feeling panicky bcos now feels like I am behind in the process 😭 So going forward, I’ll be taking other mums experiences/steps on how they do things with a pinch of salt as everyone is different I guess? Hope that answers your question lol
yes it does & that is totally understandable! i hope your more at ease now, sending well wishes x
Oh God, if you are late for the process I definitely am cos my boy is January 2021
Yeah its way too early. Some schools have a nursery attached to them which the kids can go to the term after turning 3 in which case yes you may want to start viewing but reception is the term after they turn 4 and then they don't legally have to be registered with something until the term after they turn 5
No!!!
Yes we looked around the school (nursery attached) the other week and decided to put her name down for sep 25 for nursery to go onto the school after
