Hi there,
I'll be moving with wife and 5 y.o daughter from Brazil to Cambridge in September (probable date).
Questions are:
1 - Is there any primary school known to be a reference for students whose English is not their mother language?
2 - Here are some texts from the Cambridgeshire website regarding 'in-year applications' and dates:
If you are applying for the start date of the new school year (September) and submit your applications from the 1 May to 28 June – you will get your offer of a place between 8 July and 15th July.
Applications made after 28 June cannot be guaranteed an offer of a place for the start of the new school year due to school summer holiday break. We aim to process your application within 20 school days.
We can allocate a school place in advance if you provide an official government letter stating your relocation date and intended address. We will accept a unit postal address or a quartering area address for applications from service personnel in the absence of a new postal address. You will need to attach this documentation to your online application.
So, there is this 28th June deadline. I won't be in Cambridge by that time, therefore, my only option is to get this relocation date letter from the employer and try to apply to a specific area, is that correct?
I already had access to a spreadsheet showing schools that has availability for September. But I'm kinda lost because I need to choose this unit postal address or a quartering area address that I have no idea.
