My DS is due to start school in 2016 so we'll need to submit our application in the next couple of months. We already have DD at school, currently in Y1.
We have decided to put as our first choice a different school to the one DD is at, for a variety of reasons. I recently had a chat with the head of the prospective school to find out what would be our options for moving DD into that school should DS get a place.
I have always assumed that we would need to do an in-year application and wait for a place to come up naturally. However the head seemed to think that we would instead appeal for a place to be given straight away (or in Sept 2016 when DS starts school). She said that having two children at two schools would carry weight as this isn't ideal.
I have no idea what the procedure is and if she's correct. I guess I may need to contact the local admissions but was wondering if anyone on here had any experience or knowledgeable of this situation?
