🏫 School catchment area waiver request (dérogation à la carte scolaire)
To enrol your child in a school outside your catchment area, send a reasoned waiver request to the town hall (for primary school) or to the local education authority, the DSDEN (for collège or lycée). The reasons most often accepted are having a sibling in the school, childcare arrangements, educational continuity and medical grounds: back yours up with supporting documents and send the letter by registered post with acknowledgment of receipt (lettre recommandée avec accusé de réception, LRAR).
