DD is on the waiting list for our first choice private school, and we've been told she's in the top ten and likely to get a place.
However, since places were offered (May 2015) there has been very little movement, even when the popular local selective schools made their offers in January 2016.
So now I'm wondering whether parents who have accepted places but do not intend to take them up (because they've been offered a place elsewhere) have any incentive to release the place.
I know they'll have paid a deposit which they most probably have lost by now (we are in the same position regarding our second choice school, if we were to choose another school we will have lost that deposit). But my question is, once someone's accepted they've lost the deposit, what incentive (beyond moral sense of duty) do they have to release the place?
Sorry this is a bit complicated.
