I've often read on here that this can't happen but it seems to have. DD2 is due to start at first choice school A in September, the same as DD1 goes to. School A has her on their list, I've accepted the place online and its still showing as that school online.
This morning our third choice school (C) sent a new starter pack. I've eventually got through to the school, thinking its an admin error. They have said DD2 is definately on their list to start, downloaded from our council lists. They can't remove her without us declining the place through the council but I'm worried if I decline a place it might get confused with school A and they may take her off the wrong list. Two schools are in different countys and we are catchment for school C.
Schhol A HT is going to monitor the list and try to prevent DDs place from disappearing but has said it may take time to clear up. School C is adamant that DD can't have two places and she is expected there so will ask nursery for her files etc.
Neither council admissions are answering the phone, anyone with experience of this? What happens now? School C has suggested DD application may be rejected and we may loose both places and we would need to make a late application to over subscribed school A again or as school C is catchment they may decide to place her there.
