Best way to save over 6 years?
Discussion
Firstly, i'm a complete numpty when it comes to finances...
I would like to save 6-7k over a period of 6 years to enable us to get our children into the secondary school we want (the one close to us is dire), so we are thinking of saving 6 months worth of rent to enable us to register at a good school. I might start a seperate thread concerning the logistics of doing this...
So, where should I think of putting my money?

First Direct do a nice regular savers account paying 6% interest.
Oh, and what you're planning isn't that straightforward. We have a great local secondary. Those applying on the location rule need to also provide two years worth of utility bills, including council tax. They wised up to the 6 month renters

So if you moved to a new area your children couldn't enrol at the local school for two years Oh, and what you're planning isn't that straightforward. We have a great local secondary.

I didn't say that. If I moved here now then no they couldn't apply for the great local school... They can however apply for the other one which locals have no problem getting a space at
I see, so even if you moved next door to the good school you wouldn't be able to enrole, you would have to go to the other school a further distance away. Thanks.
Ive looked into it a bit more today and it seems like we have some tough decisions to make
