I've been wrecking my brain for the past two weeks as what to do regarding choice of schools so help is needed!
Back on the 1st of March, my son was offered our first choice school - WCGS
However, two weeks ago, I had a call from Tiffin School to let me know that he's done well on their test and to ask me why I didn't put the school on the CAF form? (we live in Kingston Borough and the reason Tiffin wasn't on my list was because at the time we were supposed to move to Sutton). When I explained this, the person asked if I would like him on Tiffin's waiting list but she did say that this is not a guarantee at all (to which I said yes).
Yesterday, I had an email from Tiffin school to let me know he's been offered a place there and a few hours later I had another email from Kingston to say the same and to give us a week to think about it and confirm either way.
I am now completely confused. We are still living in Kingston and can (or don't have to) move to Sutton. As WCGS was confirmed, we started talking about the move. However, Tiffin's offer is now on the table and we need to take that into consideration. Do any of you have experience from either of the schools to compare? We liked Wallington for its community and inclusive spirit. We liked the headmaster and I personally think he's got the right energy and enthusiasm to push the school to become even more successful. I don't know much about Tiffin apart from the fact that is also a great school. I am confused.
Any thoughts or experiences will be helpful. Good or bad.
Really appreciate your help.
