We are moving to a new borough in a few months and about to do a mid-term application (yr 2), and I have just seen the following in the borough's information about mid-term admissions and waiting lists:
"Your child's name will normally only be added to a waiting list if no school can be offered"
Which seems to mean that if any school is available, you have to take the place and won't be eligible for any waiting lists. Can this really be true?
We were planning to hang on at dd's current school and bear the commute until a place came up at one of the three nearest to the new house, which are all currently oversubscribed. But it sounds as if we will not be allowed to join the waiting lists if there is a place already available in another school in the borough.
Any advice very gratefully received.
