Why join this drop-in
Choosing and applying for a primary school can feel overwhelming, with admissions criteria, deadlines and different options to consider. You may also have questions about whether your children should attend the same school or be placed in the same class.
Talking things through with someone who understands both the application process and family life with twins or triplets can make a real difference.
This session gives you direct access to expert support, helping you understand your options, work through important decisions and feel more confident about the next steps.
Very informative session. Would recommend to other parents of multiples.
