When should we move to Aylesbury grammar catchment
Hi All,
we are living in Milton Keynes.
My son is in Year 4, he is currently preparing for 11+.
we are thinking of moving into the catchment.
Some people say I should be living in the catchment 2 years before 11+ exam
Some say I can move after my passes 11+
Can someone guide me on this? Is there any website where I can find by when I should be living in the catchment?
Thank you

Should have details of all the schools' admissions criteria, or at least links to them.
Or look under 'Admissions' on the individual schools' websites.

It's good that you're thinking about this now rather than after the test!

Hi Deb,
Thank you for sharing the pdf. There is information about the catchment, but there is no information about by when I should be moving into the catchment. Are there any other sources to find this information?

Re: When should we move to Aylesbury grammar catchment
There is that information. It says you have to live in the catchment by 31st October on the year you apply and have continually lived there (and still live there) until 31st October on the year of starting at the school. It also says what criteria have to me met for it to be considered as the child's main residence.tech607 wrote:Hi Deb,

Thank you all for your response. It is clear to me now
Re: When should we move to Aylesbury grammar catchment
Main thing to bear in mind is that the results only come out a week before the deadline for applications. So you won’t be able to see if he passes and then move.
