I've spoken briefly to the admissions team in the borough we are moving too ( surrey ) and they've both told me different things so before I ring them back tomorrow to confirm the address now we have the house keys can anyone with a bit of experience let me know what will happen?
Son has a place to start in September where we currently live but 25 miles away from new address so not possible to keep him there.
We are catholic so would be applying for the local catholic school however looking at the PAN number nearly every space was taken up by a child living in the area so must be over subscribed.
One told me I need to contact our local council and give them the new preferences and another told me to email the new council directly with them as it's not an in term admission as not September yet but do they basically give me a list of schools with places available or do they just give me any school they fancy if none of my options have a place and I have to keep refusing them until one comes up I'll take?
And what happens if by January he hasn't got a place, do I then have to " home educate " until he does and prove this to the LEA? Any help really appreciated, this move wasn't meant to happen but it has so trying to run with it
