DD has been offered the place but too far from us. I identified the school which is in different borough which would be ideal in terms of school runs - and also it is a very good school. there is a huge waiting list. I have made decision to move nearer the desired school... so is it better that I move in summer ( find the place to buy) - will it give me more chance to get a place before september rather than applying later after summer fro In-year admissions? Just think if there are people who are holding on to private and state school places - so maybe in august will reject state school places - so maybe in august there will be a good chance for people who are on the waiting list?
