Going to a primary in a different borough?

Does anyone have experience of this? We live in Greenwich at the edge of Bromley, so many of our nearest schools are in Bromley instead.

DS1 is currently at a nursery in Bromley. He has some speech delay and the nursery tried to get him one-on-one support, but had to get the funding from Greenwich and it has proved to be difficult.

We are starting to look at schools for Sept 2015 and are debating if it's worth looking at schools in Bromley, or if we should just stick to Greenwich. If we do Greenwich, we may well end up farther than if we went with a Bromley school. Does going to school in a different LEA make much difference?

We live in Hounslow on the border with Richmond borough and our DS goes to a school in Richmond borough. DD1 also just got into the same school for sept. I think it's quite common for people who live right on the border to apply for schools in neighbouring boroughs.

For the school application you apply to the borough that you live in, but you can apply for any schools you want within reason
