Do you have to live in school catchment for in- year admissions?

We are moving abroad for a couple of years for a job contract then we are coming back to the UK. When we come back our children will be in year 2 and year 4. We will move back into our house in Town A for a while but ultimately we would like to sell it and move to another nearby area, Town B, which is in the catchment of a better secondary school.

We would like the children to attend any primary school with spaces in Town B, whilst we sort out selling and buying. This is to avoid them going to primary school in Town A, then another move to primary school in Town B.

So my question is are we allowed to apply to a school in Town B from our address in Town A? I know this is not allowed for reception admissions but not sure later on.

Blue Chrries. That doesn’t surprise me. I wonder if the council would be able to organise the nearest school to squeeze an extra pupil in if it is an academy?
