Our family is moving into the Richmond area, from overseas, in June 2022. I am aware that we can only apply for a place for our Year 9 son once he is residing in the area. At that point, we will be offered a place based on space available or distance to school criteria. In the meantime, our eldest is completing his GCSEs and has applied to some Sixth Forms and received conditional offers. Should we accept all the offers, then see which he gets into on August 25th and then hope to get our youngest into that same school, based on sibling priority? Or should we do an in-year application for our youngest when we arrive in June and then take a place for him, depending on what is available? But bearing in mind, if we rent as close as we can to our first choice school for both of them, neither may get in. Has anyone navigated this successfully? Ideally we would like to have both our boys in the same school so they could travel together or I go take them if need be. Thoughts and advice most welcome. Also, what is the feeling about Teddington High and Sixth Form as well as The Kingston Academy, Turing House and Grey Court.
