Rookie question:
I keep reading about parents of DC who are holding 'multiple offers' from schools. Does this mean that they have paid multiple entrance fees (on top of registration fees)? If so, how does that work?
My DC is registered at Oundle and Rugby - and I am new to this process - my understanding is that very soon we will have to choose one school to go with and pay the entrance deposit for that school.
Or am I wrong? Can we logistically and ethically keep two schools going? And if so, how do we do that? Rugby say that they want an acceptance deposit in Y7 before interview takes place, along with a declaration that this is our first choice.... but I have seen people on MN saying that they are holding offers from Rugby and other schools as well.
I am very confused !
At this stage, DC is only Y6 and we are not decided (that's another question I need help with btw). A lot can change between now and Y9. I'd like to keep my options open but don't want to lie or mislead. Or pay out multiple deposits!
Any advice please?
