I just wonder if anyone knows the answer to our dilemma?
My niece urgently needs to move due to domestic violence. My parents have agreed to buy a small home for her to live in, she'll rent from them (yes we know she wont' be able to claim any housing benefit, as renting from a relative).
We identified a house in a nice village where she has local connections. The only problem is the local primary is oversubscribed. Her four year old has just started in reception in the area she is now. Can the primary in the new area be forced to give the little girl a place? Poor child has faced enough disruption. Social services, police, etc. have been involved. Niece doesn't drive either, so the school needs to be in walking distance.
Does anyone know what happens in this scenario?
