Ds1 did not get his first choice school (local average school) but got his second choice (outstanding small catholic school). I was a bit miffed at the time as we wanted our local school but now love the catholic school is. However ds2 is due to start school in September. I'm really worried that he won't get into the same school as ds1 as the criteria is firstly baptised children in the parish then baptised children in surrounding parishes (category we fall into) then it goes to non Catholics.
I know last year we got given the school as our second choice even though other non-Catholic people who are local to the school didnt get it even when it was their first choice.
I guess what I'm asking is
If lots of Catholics in the area put it as their second choice would they be given it ahead of us. It's only a one form intake and I'm dreading the thought of ds2 not getting the same school. Aside from the fact that it's a fantastic school it would devastate the ds' and would be a logistical nightmare!!
Not sure if this makes any sense but wondered if anyone could advise!
