Applying for a school and then moving house within the borough

[passerby22]

Hi,

We have our eyes set on Fulham bilingual. They do select by distance and we found a flat really close to the school but available from 1st Feb.

Can we apply using our current address and then update the address 2 weeks later? I have called the council and assured it was ok and that the new address would be used to calculate the distance but I have my doubts. Can anyone confirm?

Thank you.

Fulham allow changes to address up to Feb 9, so yes, if this a genuine move that you can evidence - and you will no longer own or rent the house you live in now - you should be fine.

Where i live the rules are that you must be living at the address used for application on the first day of school
