Hi all
This summer we are moving in to my parents' house in N19, up near Hornsey Lane. We have a son who will be entering year 2, and a daughter ready to start nursery.
I've looked at the gov school finder guides and Islington's council website, etc. I've visited the nearest likely looking schools and they've warned me that their waiting lists are painful (Ashmount and Coleridge), which is a real shame as I liked them both... (I went to Ashmount myself 30 years ago!).
Both Islington and Haringey Council require multiple proofs of address before taking in-year applications... I most likely won't have those proofs until the summer, I guess there's no way of getting on waiting lists before then? Has anyone had a similar experience?
I think Duncombe might be my next nearest option - does anyone have experience of it?
Thanks for any advice... just flailing around confused right now, hate the idea of moving in with no confirmed schools and/or potentially a nightmare school-commute each day that my wife won't be able to manage...
