Great vid as always Nicola. My experiences of running round Woodhouse Moor even predate parkrun as my school was the building over Moorland Road which is now part of the university. The 'Moor run' was a regular PE lesson. Needless to say it definitely brought back memories when I ran the parkrun there a few years ago!
So. Many. People! Lovely parkrun though, thanks for the video. I’m just off to Google the English education system - are they private schools you’re choosing among?
No, just our local schools, we have to put a choice of 5 (although some local authorities ask for a choice of 3) and then on the 1st March places are allocated based on things like -Does the child have a sibling at the school -Is the child in care -Is the child in the catchment area etc etc It's a bit of a game but luckily Poppy likes our closest school although her first choice school is further away 🙃
@@NicolaRuns Government schools - each school has a catchment area and students have a right to a place at their local school (just that one). Schools may take students from out of the area if they apply and the school has spare places. There are some exceptions like special schools and gifted & talented programs/schools. Private schools - anyone can apply anywhere and schools can decide who to take, more or less, with some rules.
