Gosh never thought of checking the child actually lives there. No about that looking round the chaos at my home.... Thanks for that explanation.

This is common practice now. One of the reasons is to check that the address given in the original application was not an accommodation address. Two if my GC start school in September and this visit will take place then.

No need to worry.

A local young mum whose child starts school in September told me that the school sends someone round to her home prior to child starting to look at child's bedroom and the home to get an idea of what the child likes and dislikes. I have never heard of this and my GC starts school next Sep and I am not happy about someone from school checking out my house. Is this the normal these days? The young mum was happy about this but I find it smacks of big brother. What do others feel and have you had experience of this?
