We need to move somewhere bigger but for mortgage reasons we can't complete on a new place until July 31st this year. We will be moving area entirely and looking for places in a local state school for our children who will be in Reception and Year 2 - I am panicking about how difficult it will be to find a good school with two places. We are prepared to move as close as possible to a good school so will definitely be in catchment but will obviously have missed the normal application process for Reception entry.
We are looking in Islington and Hackney - has anyone had any experience of this process? Or any tips on a certain school that is larger or is known to have a bigger turn over and therefore more chance of places? Do schools keep any places available for people moving into catchment at the last minute?
