We relocated from Hertfordshire to Berkshire at the end of August 2018.
DS1, who is currently in yr 2 (KS1) started at his new school in Sept. Although he has enjoyed his year in this school, it is the 6th closest to us and we would like him to go to one of the local village schools, however, they are all currently full.
DS2 has got a place at our first choice local village school and will start in reception in Sept 2019.
DS1 is currently 1st on the waiting list for DS2's school. In Sept 2019 he will be in yr 3, KS2, which has different class size rules (sometimes they let you go over 30).
We are getting conflicting information about when we should appeal - some say we should wait until Sept 2019 when DS2 is at the school; others say we should appeal straight away. Both of these people work on appeals boards in different areas of the country.
Does anyone know when we should appeal? Now or Sept? Does it matter? Any advice or experience on this would be appreciated.

Should we appeal now for an in-year transfer or wait until September?
