We are moving from one LEA to another DD in y7. New LEA has said they do not allocate school places over summer. We are trying to complete by end of term but may not happen.
School nearest house she is no 2 on list for but no-one planning to leave. There's a school which looks reasonable which is the nearest school with places but its difficult to get to without school bus, 7 miles away. We have been told once complete if we don't name this school we will be allocated it and free transport once we complete. However if this doesn't happen by end of term we will be left with no school place for September. So tempting to take place now, obviously we won't qualify for transport from here but once we move would we qualify for transport if its still nearest school with place available? Thanks very much. Paying isn't an issue but place only guaranteed if free transport.
