Hello, I've posted here before as we have been trying to move and - as I have to apply for a school for dd by Jan 15th - have failed to do so in time for the reception application deadline. So, we are likely to be at the mercy of waiting lists.
We are in inner London, north, and I'm interested to know the following:
Can you stay on as many school waiting lists as you want for as long as you want?
Do admissions from the waiting list tend to be within a smaller, similar or larger catchment area than the standard annual admissions process?
There is a chance we'll move soon and I know some authorities will accept late applications in extenuating circs but am I best to apply now from where we currently live or hold off - can I amend the application late if for example we move to the other side of the borough?
I'll talk to the admissions office again now but also grateful for any mumsnet wisdom on this.
Thanks very much.
