sorry bee, i sent you a PM to try and avoid confusion from my earlier post - but what i was trying to say was that I applied in January for schools for my daugther in SE although I had not yet physically moved to SE. (We had bought a property, but were waiting to complete on buying and selling and i did not have a date of actual moving in - which happened in the first week of Feb). I contacted the school to let them know my situation, and they said this was okay, and i showed them the documentation nearer when my daughter went to school.
