Schools Are Back: A Fresh Start for Families

5 Sep, 2024

As the summer break ends, the academic year is underway once again. This is often a prompt for families to consider a move, perhaps a change of school in the new school year will prompt a purchase or new rental.

Things to consider if contemplating a home move.

The Importance of Location 

Many parents consider where they live and the value of living in a decent school catchment at the beginning of the new academic year. If you live close to a good school, your child will have access to not only excellent teaching but also a wide range of extra curricular activities and a supportive community. Families can spend more quality time together when they live close to school because they don't have to travel as much. Getting ready in the morning is simpler and quieter (as much as it ever can be!) since the school is just a short drive or walk away. Participating in a school community also allows you to meet other families, therefore strengthening a support network and a feeling of common experience.

A Time for Fresh Starts 

Families also have a great chance to assess their homes and think about moving to better suit their needs throughout the new academic year. Finding the correct house can improve the quality of family life and help children's educational paths, whether their needs are for more room, a larger garden, or just a change of environment. Families could enjoy the prospects of a fresh start as the school bell rings and children return to class.
