My friend secured places for her kids at a new school, but cos they could not offer a place for the eldest until September 2010 (Year 3) she did not accept the place straight away and took a couple of weeks to think about it. She lives just outside the catchment area and the place in year 1 has been taken by someone else.
She is kicking herself at not accepting the place there and then, but did not want to end up sending her kids to two different schools. She has a place for her eldest providing no one else in the catchment area applies between now and September.
I have tried to reassure her saying that someone in year 1 is bound to leave during the next term, but how likely is this when schools seem to be so oversubscribed?
The LEA have said she will have to apply for a different school, but there are no places at any of the catchment schools!
Should she wait or apply to a different school?
