DH and I are new to the whole school thing so please excuse our naivety! DD is coming up to 3 and we are looking at school nurseries at the moment. We are trying to pick schools where DD is more likely to get a school place at so we started with our nearest (1100 metres from one and 15oo from the other!). However, according to the council both schools are over subscribed and we would be unlikely to get a place at either school for reception. I was a bit at this as it seems crazy that we would have to travel past 2 local schools. We live in a London borough where alot of the schools have various problems which i am assuming would be where we would be offered places. We can't afford to move closer to the schools of our choice so DH suggested we rent a property near to the school whilst we apply and then move back to our house. It sounds totally as we are literally talking about less than a mile in distance but do these things really go on? I have to say I cant see us doing this but surely it must happen.

Would you rent a property in a school catchment area?
