Can anyone explained how the system works?
DC primary school is out of catchment for us so the link secondary is in a different town. We don’t want DC to go to that secondary anyway so no concerns.
But our local town has 3 secondary schools our catchment is the weakest of the 3.
If we put our 3 preferences all not catchment school or the link school for primary what will we be allocated if not given our preferred schools?
Will we be automatically given our catchment school? Is there any risk of the primary schools linked school despite it being much further away?
Just to be clear we would rather have catchment school if we can’t get into preferred schools. We don’t want the school linked to primary school.
