Right, it says in the leaflet that we can apply for up to six schools, but doesn't mention if there is a minimum amount that you have to apply for. When I was at school, you had to put 3 choices.
I am assuming that as it hasn't suggested a minimum, then technically, I could just put one choice ??
Dd1 knows which school she wants, and luckily it is the same one that I want her to go to, however, I also want to put another school as back up, but dd1 doesn't want me to. Despite me telling her the rules of allocations, she thinks they will give her her second choice just to create another place at her top choice, but that wouldn't happen would it ??
Is putting just one choice too risky ?? Both schools are over subscribed. We live 0.33 miles away from first choice, and 0.96 miles away from second choice. Neither are our closest, which is only 0.25 miles away.
However, we may possibly be moving in the next 2/3 mths, and then our preference school would be ever so slightly further away, 0.43 miles, but it would then be our closest school. Second preference would be 1.05 miles away.
So, do I apply now, and put down both preferences or just the one, OR wait until we move and put down one or both schools ??
Reading this post back, it seems very long and rambly, sorry.
