Hi, I understand that Bromley borough allows late CAF for exceptional reasons like house change till 2nd week of Dec (exact date differs). However, on the Newstead Wood school website it’s mentioned that late applications are processed after the on time applications. I am confused what does that exactly means? Does it means someone with a lower score can get admission because of on time application vs someone who has higher scores but moved into the 9miles catchment later? Has anybody in the past that moved to the catchment post the CAF deadline of 31st Oct been offered a place? Any experience or advise anybody can share with regards to NW late application is greatly appreciated.
The website says:
what it will mean is that someone who applies late ie after October 31st will have their application processed after April 7th when they will have to go on the waiting list to get a place and would have to get a good score to get that place as the waiting list did not move much this year.For situations where an application is received after 31 October 2024 and it is decided that
the reason for late submission is not exceptional, and for ALL applications received after
12 December 2024, the application will be held pending until 7 April 2025 and will processed
as part of the ongoing reallocation of vacant places after that time.
I suspect that the "late house move" would be limited to people who have no choice in change of jobs eg military / crown servants returning from abroad etc or really good reasons (and these are not something you can plan for)
What you would be advised to do is apply from your own LEA and then inform Bromley of change of address by the date stated on the website
The deadline for advising a change of address and proving the relevant proof is
12 December 2024.
