Hi,
We will be returning to the UK this summer after a long stay abroad.
I have two kids, 5 yrs old and 9. I believe they will entre Year 1 and Year 5 but not entirely sure.
We would like to move back to North London, where we use to live before relocating.
I understand we have missed the registration to a primary schools but also we do not have an address yet. We will need to rent a house on our arrival.
How do one go about securing a spot in a good primary school in this situation?
We looking at Muswell Hill as it looks like there are a lot of good schools around, in particular thinking about Secondary which my son will be attending in two years from now.
We are planning to return in early July but if I have to I am willing to fly in for a few days this month to sort things out, not sure if there is any advantage in doing so?
Anyone can comment if finding a rental as close as possible to the school of your choice is recommended as a strategy? Would July too late for renting near the school?
I feel like I dont know much about the school system as we were away for so long. Any tips, advice, names of schools you recomend to look into would be much appriciated.
How to return to the primary school system with no address and get into a good school and keep an eye on secondary at the same time?
Thanks
