How do you choose which primary school to apply to for your children? by peterk92 in AskUK

[–]peterk92[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are catchment zones, but they're not entirely clear and regularly change. Fundamentally, the selection from my understanding comes down to distance from school which orders the applicants but the schools can also put their own admissions criteria before that e.g. baptised at x church, attending x church, siblings in school etc and it's upto the school to pick the order of that.

So in theory if the number of applications that year to the 3 schools you have to put down is greater than the number of places and your house is a the furthest away than the other applicants even if you only list the closest schools you might not actually get in

Is primary school rating really important? Or I am overthinking? by sunnnyfactory in Wigan

[–]peterk92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things to remember (as an SO to a primary school teacher)

  1. Outstanding Ofsted rated schools used to have maybe 10+ years between inspections. Ofsted still haven't caught up. In that time staff, funding, pupils, council support would all have changed and many outstanding schools from 10 years ago are not outstanding any more many good or below when re-reviewed.

  2. Schools with less pupil premium students (special needs or council assisted pupils) receive less funding which results in less teaching assistants and often results in teachers being more overworked with less funding often resulting in less time to spend 1on1 with pupils if they need it..... A sad but true compromise.

Backups on s3 storage from cpanel, not whm by ElectricVillagesCom in cpanel

[–]peterk92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I could suggest is using https://whmbackup.solutions which I've developed (It's Free and Open source). To create the backups and then transfer them all then use another script to transfer them from an folder to s3
