Completion is the day we move in (Fri 12 Oct). We have exchanged. I have been phoning all the local schools in the area and they all seem full (Leatherhead area - state schools), I had already put myself on the waiting list for the 2 nearest schools (but I know they are full; Eastwick & Fetcham Infants). The council say I cant apply anywhere until completion! So we move in on a Friday and I will obvs phone on the Monday - but they said it might be a whole MONTH before they can allocate a school place. Surely it isnt allowed for a (Year 1) child not attend school for that long? There is a school in Cobham that told me they have spaces which I would (just about) be prepared to drive to. If I said I wanted to go on that list and there are spaces surely they can allocate you a space in a couple of days? ARGHHHH I AM AT MY WITS END. My daughter (nearly 6) is already incredibly anxious about the move as it is.
Oh and her old school is about 17 miles away and dont really fancy driving there and back every day...
Boo hoo me what can i do?

Admissions help. Moving in 2 weeks and Surrey say you cant apply for a new school until completion and then it might take a month to find a school place!
