We are moving our son from a state school to private after the term holidays. He is currently in Reception. The state school he attends does not have any after school care facilities and there are no good quality childminders in my area. Due to this, I had to resign from work to manage the school run. We really like the private school as it will cover our son's school and childcare needs but worry if he will settle in this late in the year.
So I am wondering; if we move him out of the state school, what happens if we want to move him back again? Obviously that would only be the case should he become absolutely uncomfortable at the private school (so much that his behavior ended up warrantying removal). Is the position we are leaving behind kept open for some time or do we have to re-apply to the council for a state school position; and would we receive a position in the same school we left or would we risk ending up in any other school in our borough?
If anyone out there has experience on this subject, kindly advise!
