We will be moving to a new area the end of next month. I have just been told that there are 15 children on the waiting list for a Yr4 places (6th most over subscribed school in Kent).
The house we are moving into is almost on the school's doorstep. About 600 ft, so not even 0.1 mile away. This is an outstanding school, and obviously being so close, is our first choice in every aspect. I was wondering whether being so close to the school would put us ahead of people outside of the catchment area. Is it worthwhile pursuing a place?
I have phoned around and a good school about 1 mile away (which would have been our 2nd choice) does have space for her, which I am very happy and relieved about.
Any advice greatly appreciated :)
