Hi Everyone,
We are living outside the catchment of Reading boys, as per the condition for designated area, candidate should be living in the catchment on or before 31st August 2109 for the admission for 2020. We sold our house in May 2019, but the house we are buying in Reading has a long chain and at the time of registering it wasn't completed but this now going to complete and we will be exchanging the contracts soon. But the problem is I cannot change the details online and schools are closed. I scared what to do now. HELP!
There will be admissions people in all secondary schools with sixth forms on Thursday 22nd, which is GCSE results day, also there will be staff in schools on Thursday 15th, which is A level / AS results day. However, on both those dates, any staff in will be there predominantly to facilitate enrolment into 6th form / aid sixth formers with post 18 queries etc. Have you tried contacting the local authority?
One thought, though - the IC / OOC distinction can only be relevant with regard to those actually
applying for a place, i.e. naming the school on their CAF, so if it is 'by 31st August', not 'at the time of registering to sit the test' that is the deadline, presumably it is by that point (i.e. by 31st October) that you have to prove that your sole address as at 31st August was in the designated area?
