    You're right, not helpful really.

    If you have issues, take them up with the people who make the rules, not those who do their best to work within them. People who work legally I might add, unlike you who admit you lied and manipulated to get your child into the school of your choice.

    Just saying.


    .

    Of course I lied aliasojo; otherwise my children would have gone to the the local the catchment school in an area full of drug addicts .
    Judge me all you like . My children's education was paramount to me .

    Just saying

    Hey I'm not judging you for what you did, I'm judging you for your comments on the thread to the OP.

    I was pointing out you shouldn't (imo) have brought up that issue in this thread as your situation was completely different to the OP's and it's not her fault the rules are as they are so why get on her back by saying 'why should you be able to jump the queue.........' when what she is doing is in no way comparable with what you did.

    OP, yes move. You have 4 years peace of mind, it's definitely worth it. Just make sure the distance you think is correct really is. Around here they changed the straight line rule to actual road distance. It caused issues with quite a lot of people who thought they were easily inside the boundary.
