I have filled in my daughter's school application. She already goes to the nursery at the same school but this does not guarantee her a place in the main school.
As I'm trying to get her into a church school we have to wait for the school to send us another form to fill in, and that's additional to the online form that we have already filled in.
I want her in this particular school as we go to church most Sundays (I can't say every Sunday as we visit our family over some weekends) and my daughter goes to sunday school, which she really enjoys.
She got a lovely bible from the school last week and will sit flicking through the pages, even though she can't read yet. I have read her the story of Noah and the ark, Genesis 6-9. She likes that story as it has animals in it.
But back to the application process.
You can put down that you need to go to a particular school because of a health problem. I did need to use this option when I got her into the nursery as, at that point, I was collapsing every 3-10 days with no warning signs, so could have collapsed on the way to or from school. Even though the school is only 745 meters from our door it is not classed as our local school. The 'local' school is 1245 meters away from my door.
This time though, as I have had my pacemaker fitted and am not collapsing ('touch wood' as they say), I don't think it's approperate for me to use medical grounds for a school place for my daughter.
I have only put down the church school on my application, even though you can have up to four choices. My daugher loves the nursery school and she wants to go to the 'big part' of the school. She has grown so much since starting there and I want that to continue.
In January I will have to fill in another application for my son to start at the same nursery.
