Charlie's school

I have been feeling a bag of nerves for quite a few weeks now as today loomed nearer and nearer! We filled out Charlie's school application form on the 22nd September last year! It has seemed like ages of a wait but of course it has been! The school we REALLY wanted to get him into has an excellent Ofsted report, is regarded as a 'tough' school to get into and very handily is on our road! That certainly doesn't seem to count for much as there have been a couple of children that I know about who live as close to the school and not got in! The school is a Church school and have a very stringent criteria, all of which we did meet but still that did not guarantee Charlie a place. The place allocations went live online tonight at 8:00pm, I was well aware that we'd probably have to wait and find out as a mass (apparently 8,500) of parents would all also be logging on to find out therefore the system would possibly crash. Anyway, we were a little naughty and logged in early, just before 7:15 to be precise! I knew it wouldn't be there but to our shock and absolute delight it was!! Our gorgeous son is going to be attending St Peter's C of E school, Heysham. Our first choice school! :D
