Done it, CAF submitted for year 7 places. Now the long wait until March 1st 2016. Anybody else pressed the submit button yet?

Yep SCAF submitted here too. We should be fine as we have an older child at the school we want and sibling is high up on the admissions criteria, but its still going to be a nail biting wait until March!!

It's not choice, it's preference. But I wish you all luck, having been through this for the last 3 years.
Remember that offers day is not the end of the process if you don't get your prefered school. Waiting lists can and do move. Smile

Just done - still sure I've made the wrong choices, and still know it's pointless as my son was one of 240 kids in my part of borough that did not get a primary place and so they ended up putting in 8 bulge classes, many of which feed directly into secondary schools.

They have not created one extra secondary place to accommodate them, so whilst we have chosen what we want we will be lucky to get anything.

Hate this illusion and idea of choice :(
