Hello, I am new to this board but was looking for some advice as just applying for DS1 primary school admission for next year in Richmond-upon-Thames borough and a little confused to say the least!! Just found out that we haven't got a place at our preferred faith school nursery - children from the nursery get automatic place in the reception class of the school - so unlikely that we will get a place at the school now. In our part of the borough our nearest secular primary is about 400m away - and very good - so wondering if shouldn't waste a first choice on the faith school that we probably wouldn't get in to anyway and use it for the heavily oversubscribed nearest secular school. Not sure if ranking something 1st in your choices gives you a better chance of getting a place in it than putting it 2nd or 3rd. Would love some advice please as we are just on the borderline according to the councils admission office for this school. Hope someone out there can offer some advice to a newbie!!!
