Mummy Diaries fans are baffled as Sam leaves just a week to apply for Paul’s school

‘How is she so clueless?’ Mummy Diaries fans are baffled as Sam leaves just a week to apply for Paul’s school… as she admits to being ‘naive and in a bubble’ around the deadline

Mummy Diaries viewers have been watching Sam Faiers and her partner Paul Knightley muse over their son Paul’s education future. 

And Wednesday night’s episode of the show saw the latest development in the saga as Sam, 29, met with a school advisor, who informed the star that she had just one week left to apply for a coveted place at a school of choice. 

While the former TOWIE star admitted she was ‘naive’ over the subject, fans soon swarmed social media to query how she had not known what she needed to do when her sister and co-star Billie had gone through the same process. 

Oh… Mummy Diaries viewers have been watching Sam Faiers and her partner Paul Knightley muse over their son Paul’s education future

Sam and Paul caused shockwaves last series when they revealed they did not plan to send their son to nursery as they wanted him at home as long as possible. 

While they have now been musing over home schooling their son, four, the stunner was sure to explore all her options as she met with the advisor. 

When asked what she was looking for in a school, Sam admitted she did not know, although admitted she wanted ‘a nice Church Of England school’.

It was then that she was served the bad news, as the advisor said: ‘The bad news – the deadline for apps for state schools, you’ve got until the end of next week.’

No thanks: Sam and Paul caused shockwaves last series when they revealed they did not plan to send their son to nursery as they wanted him at home as long as possible

Stunned Sam went on: ‘I didn’t think you had to nine months before, that’s me being naive, I just didn’t know. Little Paul has never gone to nursery, so you know that stuff if you go to nursery. If it’s a private school they give you more time?’

In further bad news, the advisor revealed: ‘Some people register from birth. Sometime three or four 100 applicants for 18 places.’

Due to the fact Billie had sent Nelly, five, to school in September, baffled fans asked why the sisters had not consulted on the tough decision. 

Fans swarmed Twitter to pen: ‘Surely Sam and her sister have spoken about school deadlines!!!!… #MummyDiaries I don’t believe Sam didn’t know about the school deadline. She’s always on the Internet…

‘She must have spoken to Billie & other mums and it’s in the news…  the will or Won’t little paul Go to school storyline is just for the show….

‘They’ve decided from the start he’s being home schooled. Sam just so happens to meet a homeschooler out shopping and next week they go for a meal.. yer right :)… 

‘I don’t believe Sam didn’t know about the school deadline. She’s always on the Internet, she must have spoken to Billie & other mums and it’s in the news… 

How is Sam so clueless? Bury your head in the sand … then little Paul will have to be homeschooled…  Billie has had to go through the school admissions process. Why on Earth has Sam not asked her about it?’ 

School time? Stunned Sam went on: 'I didn’t think you had to nine months before, that's me being naive, I just didn’t know. Little Paul has never gone to nursery, so you know that stuff if you go to nursery. If it's a private school they give you more time?'
