Homes vs. Schools

Homes vs. Schools

Author: Stray FM March 3, 2017 Duration: 3:00

Parents risk paying £45,000 more for their home if they want to be in the catchment area for good schools - but how much should we sacrifice really? Ailsa Rochester talks to Ilkley Mum Rachel about her families dilemma.


Tune in to The Home & Garden Show, a weekly podcast from Stray FM hosted by Christopher Dean. This program explores the deeply personal and creative spaces we inhabit, moving beyond simple DIY tips to consider how our homes and gardens shape our lives, culture, and sense of self. Each episode delves into the intersection of practical living and artistic expression, examining design choices, plant life, and community projects that transform houses into homes and plots into personal sanctuaries. You'll hear conversations about the philosophy of space, the cultural significance of domestic trends, and the quiet satisfaction of crafting an environment that reflects who you are. It’s a thoughtful look at the art of everyday living, broadcast every Friday evening. Listen to this podcast for a blend of inspiration and grounded discussion, naturally finding connections between our private spaces and the wider world.
