Advice Please, which LEA

Post by Guest2014 »

I am writing on behalf of a friend.

He has moved from Birmingham to Walsall but his son still attends a Birmingham school (yr5). His postcode is Birmingham but he pays council tax to Walsall council.

The question is this: when he fills in the LEA school transfer form which council's form should he use, Birmingham or Walsall? I have advised him to call each council's education dept for advice but in the meantime I would like to know what experienced members of this forum think.

He would full in the form for the LA that he pays council tax to, even if applying for schools in a different LA.
The LA form is not due in until 31 October.

A separate form must be completed to register for the 11 Plus exam.
