This is more of a question than anything. My daughter is on the waiting list for our local school (non catchment). She is just completing reception so already been at another school for a year.
I'm not sure where we are on list.
I have heard of another child in her school who's younger sibling has got into the school we want.
I don't know if they live closer than us or further away (we're only 250 yds from school and only a handful of streets out of catchment closer)
Perhaps they have even moved into catchment - I don't know lol.
My question is, assuming they live out of catchment and further than us, would the elder child leapfrog mine on waiting list?
I kind of understand the sibling rule for younger siblings (although I do think it's essentially unfair when people move far away yet get younger child in on sibling rule) however this is a different situation as the family have chosen to have 2 kids at 2 different schools.
I'm not even 100% sure if we would move my child if a place came up although we are keeping our options open.
