We sent off ds's application via the council's online service well in time. There were 3 versions, with a change of school in the top slot on the third and final revision. We took School A out altogether, not naming it at all on the final version, leaving School B, which had been nominal second choice, as our first choice. I have all three confirmations of receipt of application from the borough and as I understand it each version should wipe out the one before so Version 3 of the online application should be the only one extant.
I have just had a letter from School A, an academy which has a banding system, calling ds to sit the banding exam but School A should not be on the list at all - and we're away so he can't sit the exam anyway as it happens.
Has our council made a monumental mistake and sent out the wrong application form to schools? I really don't want ds to be offered School A over School B. What should I do? Call the council? Call School A (well obviously he can't sit the banding exam as we're away but if the council has cocked up he's going to have to sit it)? Any advice to set mild panic at bay?
