【询问】非伦敦地区 小学学区和买房

先说我们没在伦敦。我们所在的城市,好的小学,年年报名人数都远远超过录取人数,所以小学录取是严格按照catchment area来划分的。

这个星期小学的录取通知下来,我们如愿以偿,为妞儿申请到一个非常好的学校。接下来就是在附近买房子,我想问问,如果录取通知拿到了,然后搬家,即使很近却没在catchment area里,是不是不太好?如果真选到其他学区了,目前这个小学还会为妞儿保留她的名额么?

现如今这个小学的catchment area非常小,选择面非常窄,所以挑起来比较痛苦。往往看到一个非常喜欢的房子,离学校也很近,但仔细一查,挡不住这房子被划到另外一个学校的catchment area里。

如果我们买房真买到其他学区了,对妞儿上小学,会有什么后果么?

谢谢。

不明白。你们没房子怎么申请到现在这个学校的呢?现在是这个学校的catchment area租的是吗?然后要买房了?

你说的一点也没错,我们去年在小学校踩点时,去的四五个,个个校长都说,因为这两年全部oversubscribed, 即使住在我们的catchment area,也不能保证有位置,而且我也有同事有现实例子印证这种说法。

这样一来就吓着我们了,所以,我们采用先在学校旁边租房子的办法。当然,这也是先租了超过一年呢~~~~~~~

应该没大问题,但是就怕别的家长告状, 学校会查,然后问题就来了

是啊,学校肯定会知道,因为我们肯定要留地址给他们。我想知道的就是,‘问题就来了’的问题是什么。。。

我觉得这个肯定没问题的
不然难道孩子读书期间我还不能买房搬家了吗

学校会让你把孩子转去你新家的学校,原则上是这样的,看学校有多严。

最好你们上了一段时间再搬。很多人都会搬家,但为了不影响孩子的学习孩子不换学校。

同理,我买了好学校的房子,孩子要进来读书,只有那些搬走了的孩子才会空出位子,学校就会查,要求搬走了的转学

如果你在什么地方看到有这样的policy,给个官方链接这样大家好学习学习,因为很多人都有孩子上学以后搬家的问题。

这是几个网上讨论的贴

有的COUNCIL管的比较严格,在入学一年之内如果发现你搬家了就会调查。

给个policy的官方链接:P

我刚才在一个新闻里看到的,说是检查那种自己有个房子,然后租个房子就是为了上学的。但是我现在找不到了。也不是所有地方都检查,就是个别严格的。。。

camden. but not sure if the policy is a proposal or still under consideration.

slightly different maybe. in camden, the new rule is that family need to own the property in catchment area. but for previous year, when students already registered, not sure.

这个没有可操作性啊?也就是住Camden的租房的人他们的孩子就没学上了?

这个其实不是新的东西

The address you use on your application form should be your child’s current permanent address. ‘Permanent’ means lasting for a long time, or not expected to change. If you were to rent a property, but maintain your current residence with the intention of moving back to it, then the rented property would clearly not be a ‘permanent’ address. If we believe an applicant has given incorrect information on their application we will investigate accordingly. All such cases are looked at on an individual basis but, where we believe a school place has been obtained fraudulently, we may withdraw the offer and allocate the child a place at another school, which could be some distance from their home".

I have no time to look any policy, my daughter just got into the school I wanted, but I have two properties, I called council they told me so on the phone, and sent me a legal letter to sign not to move back to the old house.

是说的现在不能搬还是整个上学期间不能搬?

如果租房的话,我这边看网站上说的是要提供最少一年的租房合同。

The legal letter I signed is for one year, but they told me on the phone, after that I am not legally banned not to move, but as soon as I move I will have to tell the school, then is the school decision, quote: if the school have a long waiting list, they might ask your child move to the school near your new place. As you can see, they said might, so depends on the school.
