Ok so I've slightly messed up on the school front by not arranging to see schools early enough. The earliest Goodrich tour place I could get is AFTER the application deadline!


Am I crazy to put Goodrich as my first choice even though I haven't seen it? In reality, I think it's the only school we have a chance of getting into: Heber is a couple of metres closer to us, but we're a couple of hundred metres shy of their last-place-offered-on-distance so unlikely we'd get even a waiting list place. All other (non-Faith) schools are circa 1km away.


So as choice seems to be something that only applies in theory, should I just put Goodrich first anyway?


Would love to hear from Goodrich parents, and also from anyone who may know if there is any other way I could get a feel for the school ahead of 15 Jan - Christmas fairs or similar??


Thanks in advance!

If you would prefer Heber, it doesn't harm your chances of getting into Goodrich if you put it further down the list. It does mean that even if you get Goodrich you would stay on the waiting list at Heber. The schools don't know in what order you put them, if that makes sense.


I had the same problem with school tours last year!

Thanks all, that's helpful, I shall definitely go and hang out at the fair and I might go and have a nosey at the Heber fair as well.


I'm assuming you're all current Goodrich parents, so hope you might have some feedback on the thread I'm about to start asking for opinions on the school.... thanks in advance!

You should absolutely put your school choices down in the order you want them. We put down fairlawn, Horniman, Goodrich. We were offered a place at Goodrich and were definitely happy with it. But then they added an extra class at fairlawn at the last minute so we decided to change. We were going to put Goodrich first but in choosing to put it third then we knew if we would have got in to the other schools or not.

    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
    • Wholeheartedly recommend Aria. He was polite, responsive and sorted our leak, from an old tap on an old plumbing system, with no bother and on same day.
