We have also been happy with the school. My child is in year 9, there was a few settling in issues in year 7 mainly due to anxiety around rules and discipline, but by term 2 this had sorted itself out. Happy with most of their teachers, obviously there are the odd teachers not so happy with!! Also we’ve had a couple of substitutes but for no longer than a term. As a new school the facilities such as science labs and art rooms are very good and we look forward to the last bit of building works being finished hopefully by Dec this year. They are doing well academically, and have been pushed. The school didn’t set a great deal of homework when they started, but for us we liked the gradual build of homework, they certainly get more now they are in year 9. I really also like that it is a local school, so all their friends are in the local area and they can meet up easily out of school. Rather than being scattered around. @mima08 you should have 1 parents evening a year, and all teachers are contactable by email if you have any concerns / questions for them.

From ND Charter website:- The furthest distance we offered a place for our year 7 September 2023 was 921 meters. As of the 1st March 2024 the furthest distance we have offered a place for September 2024 intake is currently at 827m. (So on 1st round offers). ‍

The fact you still own another property, according to their admissions policy this will be seen as the child’s main address. See below.

If this is your only residence, the length of time you have lived there before you apply won’t matter. You may be asked to show a tenancy agreement that is of at least 12 months. They will check council tax records to see if you have any other properties but if your previous property was a rental you can show proof that tenancy ended it will be fine.
