Hi!! So I currently live in Birmingham with my 6yo and we are relocating to Surrey next July. After looking into the application process for schools in Surrey (he will be going in to year 3(junior) September 2017) I am feeling a bit lost as to the best way to go about things !!
The council requires a council tax ref as proof of address but as we aren't officially moving until July, I have been told he will not be offered a place until then and I am worried that this might be a bit too late. My partner currently lives in Surrey and I have considered the option of adding my name to his council tax bill as. Second residency to provide along with the application OR waiting till we have bought a house in March and providing this evidence then (my partner will be moving in to the house in March- we will be joining him in July once my son has completed the academic year in Birmingham).
Does anybody have any knowledge/experience/advice on what we should do or what you may have done I similar circumstances?? Also I am unsure as to whether the council will accept a secondary residence council tax reference as supporting evidence?
Any help is much appreciated!! Thanks in advance
