Please don't flame me, I am just trying to understand how the school catchment system works in the UK as I am from a European country where the system is completely different!
This is the scenario:
Family with small DC owns two properties, a 2 bedroom flat that is where the family currently lives and a one bedroom flat that is technically empty (not rented out).
2 bed flat is in a deprived area with really bad schools, while the one bed flat is in a really nice affluent area with outstanding schools.
Would it be fraudolent or illegal according to the UK system and law if the family moved into the one bed flat for a while before and after the DC started school in order to secure a place in outstanding school in affluent area? Let's say if the family actually lived in the one bed property for 6 months?
So essentially my question is: can a second property lawfully be used in terms of school catchment?
Many thanks!
