ANOTHER schooling question please :)

[doley]

So ,granted we get a place at the school of our choice (or not as the case may be )
If we move ,can we stay there ?

I have got different answers to this IRL so I have come back to my experts lol !

It would such a massive upheaval to move my poor boys again !

Yes, you can stay.

If we then move out of that catchment ,is what I should have said .

Wow ,Thanks ...super fast reply :)

Well, it depends how far you're planning on moving as to whether it's feasible, but yes.

You can - but seem my many rants about the hell that is commuting to school!

We wouldn't move far ,but you know how these crazy catchments work lol !

Right now our son's school is spitting distance ,I will miss that

seeker do you have to commute very far ?
or is that a crazy question ...

the school ,not the spitting lol !

Yes you can. Once you have the place they can't take it away from you just because you move (although it isn't unknown for a school to try). If you get a place at a school in Penzance you can move to Carlisle and still send your child there if you can handle the commute!

Just need to watch out if you have younger children - some schools do catchment and then sibling, which in a populated catchment can easily lead to you having two children at two different schools, which is logistically complicated.

You are fine as long as you don't move before taking up the place.

But getting siblings in might be a problem, as others have said, if the school put proximity to school before siblings. Check on the school's admissions policy if this is likely to affect you.
