We need to apply for a school place between September and Jan. We are planning to also buy a house in that same period, ideally in the same location so we won't be moving to a completely new area but likely to be near a different primary school to the one we have down the road now (and that we hope we can get in). So my question is, if we apply this autumn and then end up moving after having applied, what happens then? Do we need to declare the fact that we no longer live in that address, even though it is the same area? And does it mean we will no longer be granted a place in the current school but will be forced to switch to another one?
All houses within our budget seem to be near a school that hasn't go a great reputation whereas our current address would mean DC could get into a lovely primary. We are renting so keen to get on the ladder asap.
