That's what most people do. There are open mornings organised for the week after the results and these are worth going to, especially if your child's score is likely to qualify them for a school you didn't really consider initially. We had this situation with our daughter - we looked round Sutton girls and KE Handsworth and it was really helpful for us and her. You're viewing the schools on a normal school day and you really get a feel for them.halsea wrote:Hi, are people waiting until the 12th of October and getting the test results before completing their school choice forms?
Assuming that's the independent school in Edgbaston and not the grammar school in Stratford upon Avon, no, it doesn't go on your CAF.halsea wrote:Thanks Crazycrofter, because of where we live, we can only really consider one of the grammars. KES we don't put on the form do we?

I think knowing the results and then filling in the form would be better. As you can make a more informed choice. That's the plan for us anyway.halsea wrote:Hi, are people waiting until the 12th of October and getting the test results before completing their school choice forms?
