Worrying about next year when DS starts secondary. There are only 2 decent schools even remotely in the area and both are out of our catchment and over-subscribed. I'm going to try my luck with them anyway but what do I do about the 3rd choice?
If I put any of the local "terrible" schools down as a third choice we'll automatically be given a place there as they are so under-subscribed and if the schools are named on our forms, we couldn't then appeal about not wanting to send DS there.
So do I just leave the 3rd choice blank? name one school twice? try our luck with another good school which is miles away? try our luck with the local catholic school that he has 0 chance of getting into?
