Our child has recently been allocated a place at a popular primary school. We have been renting for a short time at the current address but are now ready to buy a property - (it's a short distance away but outside the catchment). Our application was entirely legitimate.
The Hertfordshire admissions website states:
"Examples of cases that will be investigated and applications withdrawn: Renting a property close to a popular school and moving home prior to school starting in September 2017"
On the other hand the Hertfordshire admissions code states:
"If you move house once you have been allocated a primary school place, you can choose to keep the place offered..."
I feel like we should have the freedom to move on with our lives and move into our first home and settle in before our child starts school. But the statement on the website is causing a lot of stress - should we cancel our house purchase? Or are we within our rights to move home before September without this threat hanging over our head?
