School places

Hello, we're very fortunate that my DD has a place at an independent school starting in September. Her current school is an infant school and therefore we needed to apply for a place in our junior school (at the time, we were unsure about sending our daughter to a private school). We found out today that we've also been offered a place there. Of course, we want her to go the independent school, so we won't be needing her place in the local junior school. However, I don't want to decline the place at the local school too quickly in case either my husband or I loose our jobs. Does anyone know the latest you can do this, without getting into trouble? (or maybe you don't). I'd like to point out, not all the places at the junior school were filled, so I'm not causing any unnecessary stress on another family needing that place.

Many thanks

I don't think you ever need to decline it until the first day of term do you? Familt situations change all the time I.e. Job changes to a different area.

Hi Tiggytape, My daughter knows she's going to The Abbey, as she had to sit some tests and spend the day in the school. I have also informed her head of our decision, as she was very supportive when we needed to take our daughter out of school to visit schools and sit the entrance exams. That's a very good point you've made about induction days, as I know there's at least one already planned, which it wouldn't make sense for her to go to.

Many thanks.
