Renting near a good school
Comments

Your sister really needs to visit the schools so she can decide on which one is the best for her children. Just because a school is outstanding doesn't mean it is the best.
When I was looking at primary schools for my eldest I had my heart set on a nearby outstanding school. I went to look around it but came away knowing that I wasn't even going to put it down as one of my choices as it felt really unwelcoming and strict. It was very much results driven and I knew it wouldn't suit my son as he isn't that academic and felt it could be detrimental to him and his progress. However, the nearby good school had a really nice vibe about it and seemed more child focussed and I much preferred it.
In the end he went to another nearby outstanding school which is really friendly and child focussed and he is doing really well, much better that I expected, and I believe it comes down to how the school approaches learning. I didn't chose it based on its Ofsted rating but more that it felt the right school for my son.0
