I doubt you will get a place as it is usually full on March 1st and not all catchment got a place. What is the back-up plan if you don't get a GS place? Great Marlow?

How do you plan to educate him for the rest of his primary school days?

I think the specific paragraph that Guest55 was trying to guide you to in the link they provided was this one:

. What to do if you are moving house

If you move after you have applied, you must give us evidence of this.

For the first round of allocations you need to provide evidence to show that you have moved and are already living in your new home by 31 October 2018 so we can use your new address when we consider your school preferences.

As mentioned above, you need to read this where it clearly states that you must move before 31October. I'm not sure where 31 December has come from?

According to your earlier posts (this week), you were hoping for Burnham grammar and before that, Herschel. Have you made concrete plans to move house? I wonder where your son will complete his primary education?

Ah so there are multiple people you know all in the same position of having made their children sit the Bucks test and then hoping to move into the county some time before December to take up places in various grammar schools, while not having any plans to attend primary schools. Have I got that right?

Your story isn’t credible and neither are your plans. It’s clear from this and your previous posts that you’re playing the system to get a grammar school place at any cost, even taking your child out of primary education for the best part of a school year. You won’t be getting any advice on how to play the system from me.
