Thank you for your reply Fiona.
My DD is in year 4 now. We are thinking to move to Langley in 2020 by April time so she will be in catchment for LGS from May 2020 to sit in exam in Sept 2020.
Becuase it is difficult to get place in desired primary school, we may continue her old school for the rest of year 5 and year 6.
if she clears 11+ test:-
could there be any possiblity that she does not get space in LGS:-
becuase- we have recently moved into Langley and
- we still choose old school becuase changing to new school during year 5 and for year 6 is not a good idea, we think!.
Any suggestions please, this will help us to decide quickly best for her!
Can I ask - is it the fact that it is difficult to get a place, or becuase (excuse the pun!) it is not at the desired school?
If you have already moved in Langley area and this will be a permanent move then shouldn't this include local school, local friends and local social activities? Therefore, surely it makes sense to move the school as well?
Otherwise you risk problems further down the line when your child starts secondary school and is the only one with few local connections.
