What are the chances of changing schools at this stage?
My daughter has been accepted at WHSG but logistically it is very difficult for here to get to. We now wish we'd have put Southend for Girls as first choice. Is there any chance of changing at this stage? Best Regards.

I wanted to do that about 4 years ago when my Son got into WHSB. They told me that I would have to go on the waiting list for SHSB but I would have to give up my place at WHSB. I didn't bother as I didn't want to risk him not getting anywhere.
But there is no harm in trying. I'll call CSSE if I were you and see what they have to say.

When I asked about this possibility prior to DS taking the 11+, as we were unsure where we were going to live, I was told that he would be put on a waiting list that is in rank order. If the score is within those that are already ranked then you are automatically placed on the top of the list. As it was, he was offered KEGS and we accepted the offer and have lived happily ever after!
