Moving schools during the holiday

Hi all. New here & looking for advice. We are moving home during the school holidays to an area 40 minutes away from where we currently live. My daughter is in year 2 and I’ve applied for a couple of schools near our new home. We haven’t been offered a place as the schools are all full. The admissions team can’t do anything about it until we send a contract in with our new address on. We won’t get that until half way through the summer holidays, so it’s unlikey that anything will be done until the September term. They have told me that it could take a couple of weeks come September to sort out a place for her. What do I do for those two weeks as it will be impossible for me to get my daughter to her current school from our new address. How badly will I be punished if she doesn’t go to school for those two weeks? It’s just more stress added to the move as I’m unsure on how to deal with it.

I'm so pleased it worked out, and good luck with your move.

We moved further away so there was no question of going back. It took weeks to sort out and dd was given a place under the fair access protocol.
