We live about 1 1/2 miles from the border with another local authority. Our first choice school, which we may get into through their church criteria, is in the neighbouring authority let's call it authority 2, we live in authority 1. Our second and third choice schools (one of which will be our nearest school i suspect, don't know what other choice will be) are both in authority 1.
Do i fill in both forms and just but the 3 schools - authority 2 school, authority 1 school a and authority 1 school b on each?
Or do i come up with 3 different schools in order for each authority?
Authority 2 forms are due back 3 months before authority 1 forms and before most authority 1 schools open days so i am still not really certain what to put as second and third preference in any case but know that i really love the school in the other authority.
Hope this is clear as mud. The authorities say they communicate so you don't get two school offers but i don't really know how and if you can enter a school from another authority on an online form.
am i getting worked up over nothing?
