Has anyone applied for primary school places from a different county? Clearly on distance we would be last on any continued interest list.
We weren’t able to move to Kent as planned last summer, so we made the application from Essex, in the hope that we would be offered a place and then move at the end of this school year as dd1 is currently in year 1 and all our preferred schools currently have no space for her, we didn’t want to move her to a failing school.
Out of our four choices we haven’t been offered a place for dd2 for September. I spoke to our current LA this morning who seemed a bit clueless. As far as I know were on the continued Interest list for all four schools and I’ve been advised to move before the next allocation deadline on the 23rd April which is just not possible. The second round deadline is on the 28th May, which we may just be able to pull off, but still very unlikely, due to work commitments and having dd1 still at school here.
What are my options now? I assumed the LA would have to give dd2 a place. We were hoping that we’d be able to get dd1 in at the top of a list as a sibling. Now looks like I’ll have them both without a place for September! Damn it! We should really have moved earlier.
