I wonder if anyone could help clarify something for me around primary school preferences? There is a great school quite close to us, for which we are (usually) in the catchment area for. We were going to list this as our #1 choice for our son starting school next year, however, I have now seen another school which I prefer. It has a tiny intake and we are almost certainly out of the catchment area, but I'm very tempted to put it as #1 on the off chance that we get in anyway.
HOWEVER, my husband is dead against the idea because he thinks that putting the good school near us as #2 will lessen our chances of getting into it. I don't think it works that way- but can anyone confirm or deny this for sure? I don't want to put the Dream School as #1 (with very little chance of actually getting in) and then not be offered the Still Really Great school because it wasn't top of our preference list.
