I'm really nervous, but she can't wait! lol :lol:


Well this has now changed!! lol

Charli now attends Giffards Primary School in Corringham - and I have to say that she is a lot happier there than she was at Howbridge!

Also, Natalie... What class at Howbridge is/was Matthew in? He would have started there at the same time as Charli! :)

I'm still waiting to hear where Poppy will be going, we find out on the 1st of April. It will either be St Michael's, or John Bunyan.

my boy started at earls colne primary, brilliant ofsted reports so i thought it would be worth the 30-60 mins drive (dependant on traffic!) but it was a sham, he is now in John Bunyan Infant (one i was dead against) and is getting on fab! My daughter starts there in September fulltime too!

We moved to be with my fiance Paul :) We've been together 2 years and were only seeing each other at weekends, so felt it was the right time to make the jump!

Unless we move..... my children will go to Hamstel. We were going to move but with this housing crisis thing going on - we can't afford to move really :(

Josh's starting westborough in september, even though he's not 5 til october.

I'm right in the middle between westborough and milton hall, I went round both to have a look a couple of years back, and I definitely prefered westborough. It's also had better reviews from mums I've spoken to.

I'm also right bwtween westborough and Milton hall, Caitlin starts Milton full time in Reception in september. She loves it, the staff are really nice, and it has a lovely atmosphere. Also the ofstead report was brilliant for milton, altho, it doesnt have the best reputation.
