Long shot but hoping that someone will have been in a similar situation and can shred some light!

We are buying a property in another borough but haven't exchanged yet however my daughter will be starting school next year so I have applied for two local schools to where we are moving to. I filled in the new address and have everything crossed that by the time they look through the application and ask for a proof of address we will have moved already.


However as purchases can fall through I wanted a back up plan as in to also apply for local schools here just in case things don't go according to plan. But because I signed up with the 'new' address I think she will be turned down straight away for local schools in ED because its like we live in Wallington and are applying for schools in ED.


Not sure what to do. I am worried sick that my daughter will end up being sent to a school that I would have never chosen... sigh

TIA

When we moved we couldn't officially apply to the school of our choice in our new area until we had exchanged on the property we were buying. We then got an official letter from our solicitors to the school admissions team to say we'd exchanged. However, you can still apply for schools in ED as you still officially live here until the date of completion. Hope that helps. Moving is a stressful time when you have to factor in schools.

    • I've used Mattress Man twice, can thoroughly recommend. It is worth investing in a good mattress (£400 plus), since you spend a lot of time in bed and they will last for years.  I favour a firm well-sprung mattress which I find gives good support.  Don't forget to turn your mattress regularly: side to side every couple of months, and top to bottom at least once a year.  This will ensure even wear.
    • Thanks Sue, its definitely the whole mattress needed!   Thanks for this!
    • Lynne, I do sympathise having gone to Kings A&E on 6th December. I sat on a chair for 7 hours followed by lying on a trolley for 11 hours before having emergency abdominal operation. I was in for 4 nights. Complaining would not have changed things as the staff were evidently working flat out and the place was mobbed. Ever since,  I thank my lucky stars that it happened when it did because within 2 weeks the whole of Kings was swamped by the impact of Covid, Flu' , RSV, Norovirus, etc etc I do hope you are recovering well
