St Elizabeth's Catholic Primary admission & feedback

Thanks for your help. We're moving to Richmond from Italy with our twins at the end of this year. Has anyone got feedback re admission at St Elizabeth's Catholic Primary? We're practicing catholics, but since we'd come over from Italy, how would our church attendance in the past be verified? Would a letter from our Italian priest do? We'd only be able to go to Mass at the St Elizabeth's of Portugal church for a year before we are due to apply for primary school, so since their website says two year mass attendance I am wondering how they would verify it in our case.
Also, if anyone's child is going to St Elizabeth's RC primary, what is your experience there? Are the children liking it? Thanks for any feedback you may have.

Personally I would go to church in Sheen - Our Lady Queen of Peace. The priest is lovely and doesn't have the two years attendance policy. You will find a lot of St Elisabeth's parents there.
PS St Elisabeth's a lovely school

Hello lovely ladies,
I wonder if any of you would know this. One of St Elizabeth's admission criteria is:
"iv. Living in the parishes of St. Elizabeth of Portugal (Richmond), St. Thomas Aquinas (Ham), St Winefride’s (Kew), and Our Lady Queen of Peace (East Sheen). Where this category is oversubscribed, places will be offered to pupils in each of the four parishes mentioned, in proportion to Mass attendance in each parish, as shown in the most recently published Southwark Catholic Directory (this Directory is available in all parishes and Catholic schools of the diocese)."

We really like going to St Dominic's Church near Belsize Park and are wondering whether or not we'd need to start attending locally - St. Elizabeth of Portugal is our closest - to maximize our chances of getting admitted to St Elizabeth's school?

It says 'living' on one hand, but then 'Mass attendance in each parish' on the other, and I'm confused by this.

Many thanks in advance.
