I've got a horrible feeling there's a disaster in the making. Ds goes to a fantastic special school and is settling in well. The problem is we have been looking for a house to rent as we can't stay where we are after the beginning of January. We have found a lovely house, within our price range and paid the holding deposit and had credit checks etc done. NOW we have found out that the county border isn't where we thought it was which puts the house in the next county (but only just).
I have spent the morning making frantic phone calls (we were supposed to pay the deposit and 1st month rent today)and am now waiting for a call back. It all comes down to whether the other lea is willing to fund ds to stay at his school and if our current lea agrees to it. Also they would have to pay for his transport. Otherwise we will be house hunting again because there's no way we want to lose his place at the school.
Has anyone else had this experience? Have you moved and been allowed to keep your children at the same schools? Does anyone know how willing lea's are to do this? I was so excited about the house but now I'm worried sick.
