Catchment area fraud and oversubscribed schools

Post by crashtestdummy »

Have any parents had people knocking on their doors asking if they would be keen to rent out or sell their house to them because they are in a catchment area with heavily oversubscribed schools? Disturbing reading. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... rules.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I know of several parents at my DS' school who will be renting a house in the catchment area so that their DD has an increased chance of getting into their desired GS. They will then move back to their "true" home once an acceptable amount of time has passed!!
