After 19 years in Australia, I'm planning on moving my little family over to the UK in January 2019, at the end of the current Australian school year. We have an area in mind that we'd like to move to, and a secondary school for my eldest, but I'm wondering how we apply for a primary school place for my son (who will only be there for 6 months while he repeats half of Year 6) when we don't exactly know where we'll be living and whether it'll be in the catchment area.
We have no family in that area that we can stay with, having chosen it purely for lifestyle/location/schooling reasons.
I'm assuming we'll have to rent a furnished holiday cottage for a good 2 months until our furniture arrives, so would the local authority accept that as our address, despite it being temporary/a holiday let?
Has anyone else gone through this?
