We will be emigrating at the end of October 2012. Assuming our eldest makes cutoff in the 11+ (which we think is a reasonably assumption), she would be able to go to the catchment Grammar school. She's academically minded, and would rather go to the Grammar. However, I can't help wondering if it would be unfair to take up a place when she's not going to be staying on. Presumably when she leaves her place would then become available for someone else, but they will have had to wait half a term to get it.
So the question is, is it unreasonable to be selfish and let my daughter be in a more appropriate learning environment for her for six weeks? Or should I encourage her to put up with the local comprehensive (which is apparently perfectly fine) for the half term before we leave?
