Hoping one of the admission experts will be able to help with this one.
A friend has adopted a child from abroad. She's now at the stage where she has to apply for primary school. The child currently attends a nursery attached to the primary school my friend would like her daughter to go to - only thing is she's not that near, certainly not in catchment, at any rate.
Friend was under the impression that as child is adopted she'll be top of the priority list and get in - and consequently only needs to put this one school on the form. I thought I'd read somewhere that 'adoption' for these purposes only applies to children who were in local authority care, not overseas adoptees or step -children.
Can anyone out there clarify this? Needless to say, I have already advised her not to put just this one school on the form and include a couple of realistic local options she'd be prepared to accept, just in case.
