Dear all,
Could you pls help me with my situation?
Our offer for the new house was accepted last week and we are beginning the purchase process, including mortgage and legal issues. We hope everything will be completed before schools open in September, but of course, things may not go well and we may still have to stay in our current house for a little while.
This uncertainty makes it confusing for me when it comes to the Applications for a transfer between schools in-year.
As you know, the in-year admissions application form requires you to contact the current school so that they will fill in some information before you can send the form to the new council.
So if we fill in the application form now, we are concerned it means my child (Year 3) will lose their current school place. And if we still have to stay in our current house in September, where will the child go?
Another issue: The vacancy checker in the new council shows that all the outstanding schools near our potential house are full anyway.
Given these two reasons, should I delay sending the application form until our new house contract is completed? It means we may have to wait until after September.
Your advice is appreciated. Thank you.
