We're about to return to England from overseas with dc who'll be rejoining in year 5 and year 3 in April.
Our local authority has given us a list of schools that have vacancies currently - though this might change by the time we're back and have to submit the application - and no schools close to us have spaces in both years.
My question, which the admissions team doesn't seem to have an answer to (or at least not one they're telling me!), is whether the application forms will be considered together, ie as a pair of siblings who ideally would be at the same school, or not.
We have four choices, and my intention would be to list the same four in the same order for both dc, but if they end up at different schools, it is going to be a real headache.
Is it a situation in which one dc (the oldest?) would be placed first, which might then bump the younger up the list? Any advice on wrangling this would be much appreciated!
