Primary schools - moving house once in

[barbamama]

Just wondering, if you get a place in reception based on your current address being in the right catchment or whatever - what happens if you subsequently move house once the child has started school?

Assuming you moved locally so were still commutable to the original school but no longer in the right catchment area, can they reassess you based on the new address or turf you out like, say, a GP surgery would do?

am pretty sure once you're in, you're in

No they can't chuck you out, once your in your in.

They can't chuck you out, otherwise how would anyone ever move house? It's fine.

thanks, and what about the position of any subsequent siblings - do they still benefit equally from the sibling rule?

Do you think there would be a problem if you moved out of the catchment area (but still locally) in between receiving a place based on the old address and actually starting?

you would have to check on this, schools are getting tighter for this very reason - p[arents move in to get great school, move out and then take up places that local kids can't always get b/c of the siblings rule
tis v contentious at the moment

Siblings may become subject to a distance rule, depends on school and of course criteria could change in the meantime so no guarantees. You might fall foul if you move before starting - unless you could genuinely prove that you weren't playing a game just to get a place.

thanks - we are renting for a year before buying (locally hopefully) and in between will need to apply for reception for first son so was just trying to think through the implications if we can't buy in the same area.
