Does catchment must be part of the Bexley Borough of council

[Yugendarram]

Hello,
1. My son is appearing for the Bexley region elevenplus test, and we are aboout 3.3 miles to 5 miles straight line from 3 of the Bexley Grammer schools however we are in the Greenwich council but not in the Bexley council. Do we need to be in the borough of council as well for us to be in the catchment or the straight line measurement is matters irrespective of where we pay the council. (provided my son is deemed selective). I was told that if he/she scores in top 180 places will be offered irrespective of location.
2. Also for the address proof will the rental agreement be sufficient or does it need to be bills? as we may move after seeing the results in which case we may only have the rental agreement by Novemer end,but may or may not have the bills (not sure if council can provide a bill with in weeks time of moving in to Bexley council) if we end up moving.
Any advise is helpful and appreciated. Many thanks

The child’s home address must be where he or she is living
with the parent or carer entitled to receive child tax credit
or child benefit. Please upload a copy of your Council tax
statement or tenancy agreement. We will check your address
against records and may ask for further evidence

The home address will be taken as the child’s home address on
31 October 2018, unless there is a qualifying change of address
by 7 December 2018. It must be the address at which the child
lives with the parent or registered guardian who is the main carer,
ie, the parent eligible to receive Child Benefit and Child
Tax Credit.
