We are going through this process and I wanted to get the views of other parents about preferences and distance from schools. I really liked Dulwich Village Infants but our closest school is Heber (therefore we are not that close to DV). If I were to put DV as our first choice and Heber second does any one know if that would jeopardise our chances of getting either our first or second choice? I am not sure whether it is preference or distance that takes priority i.e. would someone else who put Heber as first choice but did not live as close be offered a place over someone putting it as a second choice and living closer? Also I have heard great things about Heber school but I was not that impressed when I visited the reception class and the last Ofsted score for Early Years Foundation stages was satisfactory. Am I the only one in ED who has doubts about the quality of the teaching at Heber during the early years stages?
