My daughter is only just going to be starting GCSEs but we know she wants to go to an all girl sixth form in SW London. I’ve been looking at the application process and see our second choice (private) requires acceptance of their offer months before our first choice (state) even makes an offer! I know it is all conditional on the results, but is it the form that one accepts the offer initially then withdraws it if they then subsequently get into their first choice? Do private schools require a deposit to prevent parents hedging their bets like this or is it down to individual schools?
Also does proximity to school count with state sixth form? I see a lot about it for entry to Y7 but no mention of it for sixth form admissions (they just mention GCSE results).
