My son is getting closer to school age and I am stating to panic about the primary school situation. After viewing several schools in the area, both state and private, we have found that Honeywell is the best fit for us. It is our nearest state school however because of its popularity we are outside of the catchment area as we live 500m from the school. Therefore we will need to move in order to get him into our nearest school (which I find infuriating!!) it turns out that our home is in a black hole when it comes to getting into any state school, let alone a good one.
So, my question is, how long before the application do we need to be living at the new address? Do we just need to be in by the 15th Jan application deadline? I read somewhere tha you need to be living at the address for a year before you submit the application but I haven't heard that before. Any advice appreciated!
