Help us out, please, listeners! We’ve had a question from Chris from Aldershot which we can’t answer, because none of us know shit about these matters. But perhaps you do, so we put it to you:
Our son is 2, we live in a bit of a scabby area (Aldershot) but want him to attend a better school which is in Farnham.
Answer me this: At what time should we think about putting his name down for the better school in Farnham to stand a better chance of getting him in?
Any ideas, chaps? Comment below!

if it’s a state school, then you have to be in catchment (the nearer the better), if it’s private, it’s most probably too late if it’s a really good school. When I lived in London, getting into school is really tough and I do know people who have rented out their house, moved to a rental house very close to the school of choice, just for a year while the application goes through, then moved back.

Only two extremes work in child rearing: complete attachment or complete disinterest. So either homeschool him or pack him off to boarding school.

Yeah as soon as possible is best. Also, if you manage to get this one into a good school and then make another one…the younger child will get in automatically because the older one goes there. Bonus.

As soon as possible. If its a really, really good school there will be a long waiting list and the child needs to be on that list ASAP. 🙂
